if you feel like expanding your view of the world (in a way that doesn't involve thinking about everything that's wrong with society) my recommendation is go to youtube and start watching videos about 1) paleontology 2) quantum physics. in literally no order. don't worry about understanding everything right away just let it wash over you

[qwilp]

Yes please??

yeet

paleontology:

PBS eons - very bite sized videos, assumes no prior knowledge. goes for the weirdest/coolest stuff most of the time

your dinosaurs are wrong - uses toy critique as a jumping off point to teach you about how dinosaurs really looked

clint's reptiles - mainly about modern animals, but has a good sized playlist about dinosaurs. dude's got great energy

paleo analysis - I especially recommend the complete history of the earth playlist

I could keep going but I think the algorithm can take you from there

quantum physics: (I have less of these, I would also like recs if anyone has them)

PBS space time - way, way harder to follow than PBS eons, but not in a bad way. this is one that you watch to go bro what the fuck. and then suddenly understand things while you're taking a shower later

the action lab - not entirely about quantum physics, lots of cool science demonstrations in general. usually shows you something absolutely buckwild before explaining it to you

professor dave explains - if you want a sequential explanation of the basics of quantum physics you go to this playlist right here. I recommend doing that after watching other stuff and going "what the fuck" for awhile though. I just think it's more fun that way

While it might look like an abstract painting, it's actually the surface pattern off a cedar tree trunk washed up onto the beach. I found it to be a fascinating mix of shading, energy and flow. I can see people, fish, the flow of rivers - the record of a whole life story just waiting to be discovered and retold.

i do hate that the frequency of boring relatable protagonists has caused many readers to become affronted when met with a protagonist with like different values and interesting flaws. like ok be mad at that literary device like it's a real person. i am eating them though

I know literally nothing about any band so i'm always in situations where I say "oh this song sounds cool" and someone's like "um the leader of that band literally stabbed his sister?? wtf" BITCH HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW.

The bulk sale of mechanical pencils is what’s wrong with this country…. To encourage the quick disposal of this elegant device that was originally conceived to be refillable and modular…. Trying desperately to recreate the ecstasy of a bouquet of freshly sharpened wooden pencils… we should each be given one mechanical pencil at birth and only given a new one if there is a fire
