A poll covered by The Independent says about half of Americans have skipped meals because of grocery prices. We look at what several 2026 surveys actually found, and why the numbers differ.

Fewer teens are getting driver’s licenses. Federal data shows about 1 in 4 16-year-olds is licensed now, down from about half in 1983, and cost is a big reason.

IFLScience spent a night at a famously haunted British castle and came back with a better question: why do people pay to be scared?

The Telegraph covered new research and expert consensus on birth memories: less than 1% of adults claim to remember being born, and neuroscientists are confident it isn’t scientifically possible — the hippocampus is too immature at birth to encode retrievable memories. But newer research suggests i…
The New York Times covered new research suggesting the theoretical human lifespan ceiling may be 146 to 194 years — but even in the most optimistic scenario, irreversible DNA mutations accumulate in ways that eventually stop the heart and brain from functioning. A Pew Research Center survey of more…
Investopedia’s 2026 American Dream analysis puts the lifetime cost of the traditional package — home, two cars, two kids, college, retirement, vacations — at $5.3 million, up from $3.4 million just three years ago, and growing 4.1% this year while wages grew only 3.1%. A college-educated worker ear…
