Are there any apps with kind of an educational feed for mindless scrolling? (lemmy.world)

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 say this with complete sincerity: I think you’re looking for a book! Maybe consider an ereader app for your phone

Specifically an encyclopedia.

Going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole can be a reasonable digital alternative.

Library Cards are also OP

Libby app for the win! A brief history of time is a fun mind-blowing read by one of the greatest brains of our time.
