   !TIL that in the 1950's, donut shops were some of the first food businesses commonly open late at night. They became hot spots for police working the night shift since it gave them a place to grab a snack, fill out paper work, or even just take a break. This is why donuts became associated with cops. - https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/how-doughnut-loving-cops-became-stereotype-180956730/

   !TIL Early in life, each #dolphin creates its own unique vocal whistle that gives it an individual identity.

It's the equivalent of calling each other by name. - https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-23410137 #ethology #biology
