Have you ever circled around a packed parking lot looking for a spot, only to find that one selfish person is hogging up two spaces? Chances are they’re driving a Mercedes, according to a new survey. Car rental site DiscoverCars.com enlisted travel bloggers in five major European cities—Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Amsterdam, and Manchester—to observe parking habits in popular shopping mall lots. They recorded which cars parked outside the lines, took up multiple spaces, or parked illegally in handicap spaces without permits. Mercedes drivers took the obnoxious crown, with 25 percent of spotted Mercedes vehicles parked incorrectly. Citroen drivers were a…

Serge Gladkoff, CEO of Logrus Global.In Uganda’s Kibale Forest, researchers watched 200 Ngogo chimpanzees slide into nothing less than civil war. They were one community that had lived and raised offspring together for decades. Then the animals that moved between subgroups disappeared. Interaction dropped, avoidance rose, and a soft boundary hardened into a fault line. Bloody conflict followed with patrols, fights, killing males, females and children.Chimps have no politics, no culture, no religion, no trade, nor other sophisticated reason to wage a war. Bloody war started when the factions simply stopped talking to each other.For business leaders, Ngogo is not…

To figure out how “use it or lose it” applies to muscles, consider some that we keep using throughout our lives. (Photo: thianchai sitthikongsak / Getty)Published May 14, 2026 03:05AMThe fundamental chicken-and-egg question about getting older is: Do you lose muscle because you stop using it, or do you get less active because your muscles no longer work like they used to? As with all good dilemmas, the answer probably lies somewhere in the middle. But where? It’s a very tricky question to study, because it’s almost impossible to find people who are doing exactly the same things in their…

Just looking at the thing made me feel manly.But it had a problem: it was nearly undrivable. The huge tires and all the added weight made…

For most of the last century, we believed human potential could be measured through intelligence, and we built whole institutions around that belief. IQ was the metric. If you were analytical enough, technically proficient enough, quick enough on your feet, doors opened, schools rewarded it, employers screened for it, and entire industries grew up around identifying and elevating it. Then we noticed what intelligence alone couldn’t do. Technical brilliance without humanity tended to create distance rather than trust, and a generation of leaders who were brilliant on paper proved unable to inspire the people around them. So we elevated a…
