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.
What you’re looking for is called RSS. Install a RSS client, subscribe to some blogs or interesting sites like Aeon, Psyche, Nautilus, Longreads or Hacker News and add them to your client. Then you can scroll mindlessly through your own curated list of educational content.
Google reader was so simple and really amazing. Too bad they dropped it.

Wikipedia.
Aard 2 - an offline Wikipedia reader app
HackerNews is pretty good
I always enjoy reading Popular Mechanics magazines. They have a digital subscription available.
Make another account on Lemmy and only subscribe to communities you wanna learn about
Podcasts for longer boredom sessions.
I say this with complete sincerity: I think you’re looking for a book! Maybe consider an ereader app for your phone
Octal for hackernews. Lots of peer reviewed papers, reports, and good articles. And lots of smart people in the comments. No memes, no bs.
