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

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.

So...mindful scrolling?

I think you'd want to roll your own, basically. Get an RSS reader, subscribe to some journals, some sites like Mentalfloss and Atlas Obscura that "blogitize" information, maybe follow scientists' RSS feeds on Mastodon or Bluesky. If you follow enough, it'll be an effectively infinite scroll every time you open it.
