diving into a topic of choice in wikipedia is so fun especially if you keep clicking the linked words it keeps getting more specific and interesting my suggestion of a topi: gender studies

hear me out
the wikipedia app has a home screen where you can see what the top articles are in a given day. unlike “trending” algorithms on social media the wikipedia top articles are just straightforwardly about “how many people are pulling up this article” today.
i love this because actually pulling up a wikipedia article to read something is in many ways more significant than just sending a tweet or watching a video or whatever, and as such stats on what wikipedia articles are trending gives a more authentic view of what “the culture” is actually thinking.
sometimes the top articles are straightforward (today it’s rfk jr and kamala harris etc lol), but sometimes it’s a huge curveball, and piecing together the reasons why articles are trending (and sometimes why trending articles that seem unrelated actually are) is always very fun and a much more stimulating way to engage with information than just a straightforward feed. highly recommend

It's far too easy for me to burn a few hours digging through Wikipedia hyperlinks and trawling through yards of text. It's a very fun way to gain cursory knowledge about possibly obscure topics, and you can find some pretty bizarre stuff if you know where to look.
