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.

    Damn, people are really ripping into OP for saying the world “mindless” in a sentence asking for good snackable science content.

    I wish people wouldn’t be so pedantic and would support someone’s curiosity in science, not rip it apart.

    That said, OP there are a lot of great science educators that are using things like short form video to give you a brief taste of a cool topic or area of study. I know a lot of them are using the big Google, Meta, and TikToc platforms for this content, but I would love to know if there are some people using Fedi platforms.

    I tend to find that if I start searching for people like Brian Greene, Brian Cox, Carl Sagan, and I commonly downvote things like Joe Rogan, then the algos can provide some interesting science stuff to watch while I’m waiting at the car wash.
