26 Fascinating Photos From Our Incredible World

Mr_Incognito Published 01/10/2024 in Animals & Nature

Fascinating photos stick with us long after we've exited our browsers or closed our phones, which is why the Twitter account @facs1nate has one million dedicated followers who scroll through to see a well-curated stream of mindblowing historical tales, weird nature, and cats making beds.

Maybe the key to Fascinating’s success, besides simply displaying stuff you’d never otherwise hear about, is their use of the internet rabbit hole. Most tweets won’t lead you anywhere except shitposts and arguing incels, but @facs1nate often links their best stories to long, captivating articles that give users the full scoop. The experiment of the internet has finally gotten to what we really want to know in depth: why a toddler is smoking a cigar, the story of the first Black Samurai and the reason cats are so intriguing yet weird.
