Reply to comment by cranialvoid in TIL that due to "Subjective Age" most children and adolescents feel older than they really are. But this switches at around 25. By age 30, around 70% of people feel younger than they really are, with the discrepancy between actual age and subjective age growing over time. by AspireAgain

Now that I Phones have satellite beacons they are probably scrambling to stay relevant.
Edit: I didn’t realize Garmin was making Fitbit watches… my bad.

Reply to comment by PikesPique in TIL about Ragamuffin Day, a celebration in the New York metro area in the late-1800s and early-1900s in which children wore costumes and went door-to-door asking for candy or money on Thanksgiving. It fell out of favor as trick-or-treating on Halloween gained acceptance in the 1940s and '50s. by PikesPique
The date for Easter moves every year because it is based on the first full moon after the spring equinox.
The rabbit used to be associated with the moon because back then they saw a “rabbit in the moon” instead of a “man in the moon”.
Our current celebrations are the newest version of a really old telephone game :)
