Here are five stats from this past week that made our team go “whoa.” Hopefully you will, too.

  • 🧬 1 in 4 American men say they’d probably or definitely clone themselves if given the chance, compared to 1 in 8 US women.
  • 📵 Around half of Gen Z US adults – aka Americans aged 18-27 – say they wish X (50%), TikTok (47%), and Snapchat (43%) were never invented.
  • 🌀🌪️ Nearly 1 in 5 Americans (18%) have ever evacuated their homes because of severe weather.
