We all get bored sometimess and scroll mindlessly through various social media feeds, like instagram (fuck you), reddit (fuck you) or lemmy (no offense, love you guys).
Most of the time content is a wild mix of everything, from news to memes and educational stuff, and very hard to filter out.
Is there anything out there that contains educational stuff only? where you can just sit there, scroll through it and learn something. thinking of like a short text or image showing some facts, or some math examples, or physics, or whatever.
I think OP is referring to the short “oh that’s really cool” stuff a good educator knows how to use to excite people about a topic. People like Carl Sagan and Neil DeGrasse Tyson have been masters of this on talks shows.
It’s not going to be an 20 lecture MIT course on quantum physics (those are online for free BTW), but you’ll get the high-level gestalt of a something. And that might inspire you to dig deeper into a topic.
