A few weeks ago, a (supposed) friend provoked a fierce debate by saying she didn't own any steak knives & that this was totally normal.

I took the only rational response: polled 1,000 adults about their kitchen utensils. 86% own steak knives.

This is a fun one. I asked 29,000 Americans how they primarily organize their books.

- 29% don't organize their books
- 22% sort by genre
- 19% alphabetize
- 3% sort by color

But it turns out this depends HEAVILY on how many books you own. My story: today.yougov.com/society/arti...
A line chart showing the primary way people organize their physical books, by the number of books they own. As the number of books owned rises, the share who don't organize their books falls and the share who sort by subject rises. Almost no one sorts by color.
