Who knew systems thinking + math could be a lifesaver?!

I'm now debt-free and have saved more in 3 years than the past 20 years 🤯 #mindblown

Make me understand this... People complain they don't have enough(be it money, happiness, food, success, or whatever), then when you give them a way to attain more than enough of anything, they refuse to take it, and just continue scrolling.

I was today years old when I learned that the bassist on Gordon Lightfoot’s first album was Spike Lee’s father! #todayilearned #mindblown

1960s image of singer Gordon Lightfoot singing into a microphone, taken from the back of his first LP. The text above reads "LIGHTFOOT," and the credits below include names such as John Court, David Rea, Bruce Langhorne, and Bill Lee, who is Spike Lee’s father!

This blew my mind.

In 2012, DNA analysis and statistical techniques were used to infer that a now-extinct human population in northern Eurasia had interbred with both the ancestors of Europeans and a Siberian group that later migrated to the Americas. The group was referred to as a ghost population because they were identified by the echoes that they leave in genomes—not by bones or ancient DNA. In 2013, another study found the remains of a member of this ghost group, fulfilling the earlier prediction that they had existed.

Just tried medication for the first time.

My mind is blown!

Or, to be precise, my mind is actually quiet and obedient for the first time ever.
Is this how it is for everyone else, like everyday, since you were a child? Like, by itself? without any drugs? You can have a thought, and turn that thought into action?

for fucks sake, this is amazing!

🎭 Ever noticed how shows like The Simpsons tweak famous characters or logos? This is called "parody" or "satire" — a legal way to joke around without copyright trouble. These slight changes often stick in our minds, sometimes causing collective memory mix-ups known as the Mandela Effect! 🧠✨ It's pop culture’s playful remix shaping how we remember reality. #Parody #Satire #MandelaEffect #PopCulture #MemoryMagic #FairUse 👀 🤯 #mindblown

Fantastic article about bird migrations changing in response to climate change. Did you know that Desertas petrels follow Atlantic hurricanes?

🎂🧠🐰 Weird science or wild coincidence? Insta-sensation Depths of Wikipedia drops mind-bending “effects”! The Ben Franklin Effect tricks you into liking folks you help. The Birthday Effect links birthdays to booze, stress, and doom. And the Bambi Effect makes us love cute critters more. Our brains? Total drama queens! #MindBlown boingboing.net/2025/10/07/why-

As a kid, it was basically truth that #gobots just sucks, but I always had a soft spot for #scooter. My original Scooter was limp, loose & I just realized that he was missing his chest plate. So a “new” Scooter arrived today in the mail. I’m gobsmacked that this figure has tight joints. Scooter can sort of point now. #mindblown.

Our Sun feels enormous: until you meet Stephenson 2-18. This red is so huge that if it replaced our Sun, its surface would reach past Saturn. You could fit 10 billion Suns inside. Almost beyond imagination.

When I was an infant, humanity had no idea what the far side of the moon looked like!

In today's riveting 2503-page saga 📜, we are taken on a thrill ride through the magical land of Homomorphic Encryption 🧙‍♂️. It's like a bedtime story for statisticians, where the climax is realizing you have absolutely no idea what you just read. Thank you, arXiv, for assuming we have an endless reservoir of brain cells to waste. 🤯✨

I rarely bothered to read Paul Krugman’s columns about economics in the NYT, but now that he’s independent, I’m learning that not only is he a smart economist, but he’s….wait for it….a staunch feminist!
