Hank Pym Has Some Creative Energy Solutions
While comic book movies will traditionally have a little wobbly wobbly science, Redditor u/sbtrey23 noticed how Hank and Hope power their portable laboratory (in the most improbable of ways):
In Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018), the lab is portable and therefore can’t be connected to a main power grid. Since they needed portable energy, you can see in the background that they used enlarged Duracell batteries to power the lab.

Hank Pym And Janet van Dyne Took Some Creative License In Their Lab's Construction
If there's one thing that can both stand the test of time in terms of durability and inflict a massive amount of pain if stepped on, it's Lego. From Redditor u/Naweezy:
In Ant-Man and the Wasp, Hank Pym’s new lab is built out of blown up Lego panels.

Twitter And David Tennant Suggested A Book For Scott Lang
If there's one great side effect from having an interconnected cinematic universe, it's the fringe interviews that wind up influencing other properties. This tidbit from Redditor u/Olibotactually touches on just that:
In a Marvel interview, David Tennant said he thought Ant-Man would cry at the book The Fault In Our Stars. In Ant Man and The Wasp (2018), Scott is seen crying whilst reading it near the film's beginning.

The Timing For 'The Snap' Lines Up Perfectly With The Timezones
Timezones are a funny thing in the MCU. Avengers: Infinity War takes palace at the same time as Ant-Man and The Wasp, with Thanos triggering The Snap at the exact moment Scott tries to leave the Quantum Realm. The Snap happens in what looks like midafternoon in Wakanda, well before sunset. According to an in-universe map, we can see Wakanda is likely UTC +3. Nick Fury and Maria Hill are dusted on the East Coast which is UTC -4 and the Pyms are dusted in San Francisco, which is UTC -7.
Considering the effects of The Snap likely triggered radially from the point of origin, (and given the nature of these films is to be released during the summer), if The Snap happened around 4 pm Wakanda time, that implies it hit the East Coast of the United States around 10:00 AM and the West Coast around 7:00 AM. This lines up with the time of day shown in Infinity War and Ant-Man and the Wasp.

The Microverse Might Be Canon
When Hank Pym goes into the Quantum Realm to rescue Hope, you can see a city enclosed in a bubble. Redditor u/Slogfarts states:
It looked like the Royal City from the Microverse's Homeworld, as seen in the upper left-hand corner of this image.

'Animal House' Is Surprisingly Relevant
During Scott's house arrest, his choice of films foreshadows some very important science that is pointed out by a Redditor:
In Ant-Man and the Wasp, Scott is seen watching the movie National Lampoon's Animal House. In this scene the student says “That means one tiny atom in my fingernail could be – Could be one little tiny universe.” Foreshadowing to the Quantum Realm’s abilities.
