Arizona is one of only two states that don’t observe Daylight Saving Time (DST).

The Navajo Nation, which exists mostly inside Arizona, does observe DST.

The Hopi Reservation, which exists entirely inside the Navajo Nation, does not observe DST.

Because Arizona is so hot and sunny, the additional hour of daylight meant energy consumption would soar so as to keep living spaces cool for that extra hour.

People were also unhappy waiting an hour longer to enjoy activities outside after sunset—which would happen at 9 p.m.

In 1967, Arizona opted out of DST and chose to remain on Standard Time.

The portion of the Navajo Nation that’s in the state, though, chose to observe DST.

If you’d like a break from *gestures broadly at all of this* the capybaras at the Edinburgh Zoo are locked in a scandalous love triangle.

Lastly, giving birth to triplets doesn’t get you any special treatment in the rodent world.

Female capybaras usually give birth to a litter of three to eight young each year.

The gestation period lasts around 100 days, so Cali might want to do some quick math.

When Patrick Stewart was knighted in 2010, he gave special thanks to his childhood English teacher, who first encouraged him to study Shakespeare.

Cheers to Sir Patrick Stewart. Thank you for inspiring a passion for learning and the arts, both here on Earth and up in the stars.

Eleanor Roosevelt’s name before marrying Franklin D. Roosevelt was Eleanor Roosevelt.

They were distant cousins.
Tell me a fact that sounds made up but is actually true.
