Yesterday I shared my favorite instagram accounts. While their posts most definitely make me stop scrolling there are also other things that let me stop. Think. And maybe click a link and read up on a few more things. I love when the internet is surprising me. When I get a glimpse into a world or a topic I would otherwise never stumble upon. I have collected a few things that made me stop scrolling lately and I want to share with you today:
Your age on Other Worlds
Why did it made me stop scrolling: Did you ever think about how old you are on Mars or on Neptun. Well I certainly didn’t. I am sure we will not need this knowledge in our lifetime either but it is fun and geeky and so I looked up what age I would be as a Marsian (20.9 years) And then I checked where I would celebrate my birthday next – apparently its Mercure on December 3rd. And of course I’d be sweet 0.158 Plutonian years and had a full life ahead of me.

What day is my Birthday
Why did it made me stop scrolling: Since we are talking about birthdays here is another fun one. Ever wondered what day your were born? I didn’t know and figured why not google. And then once you start you can check all your birthdays in advance and plan the biggest parties that fall on a Saturday. Letting pople know ahead of time no one can complain its too spontaneous. Ha. Enjoy.

Art meets Education
Why did it made me stop scrolling: It is no secret that I have a thing for art and photography. And I am – not only due to my word of the year GRACE – trying to look into more ways to actually give back. But that wasn’t what initially hooked me. I found it interesting that kids have the chance to try out photography, that they have the chance to be creative and that the artwork they create will be shown to a wider audience. And then that it can be bought and therefore they can actively work on getting a better education. I like the concept. There are multiple ways to support not only by purchasing the artwork.

Coloring Books for adults
Why did it made me stop scrolling: I guess the vast number of options caught my attention. I do own a few coloring books but I guess if you just want to do it in a vacation or to try out this is a really good source to have a look. No matter what you are looking for it probably is here: Mandalas, nature, animals, landscapes everything. Its really cool.

What is something fun you came across lately. I have a few more links I saved but they are more educational. Maybe I write another post about it. Right now I am really really tired and need to go to bed.
Happy reading

Oh, I love stumbling down the rabbit hole because you got caught on a phrase or topic on the Internet. We’re quite lucky to have all this information right at our fingertips.
I have not googled my age on another planet LOL but that might be a fun way to spend a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon.
Yes the famous rabbit hole. It’s the weirdest things you can come across and it’s so fun. Enjoy checking your age
Ha ha… I’m moving to Pluto.
These are really fun- I like the idea of thinking about a big party for the next time your birthday falls on a Saturday. That’s really planning ahead!
I admit i had to see if my 40th was on a good and it happens to be on a Saturday. Now I am all in planning mode. But then I might wanna spend a few days at Pluto to slow things down. Ha!
