Damn Interesting —
DamnInteresting.com is where I learn some damn interesting facts that lead me to damn interesting ideas. The site writers find phenomena (scientific, natural, historical, mythic) and write articles of about 500-1000 words about them. It sounds like a pretty basic, ordinary concept until you consider that DamnInteresting.com chooses its topics for their mystery, their intrigue, the way that they illustrate the infinite complexity of the universe.People who can't make new memories. Roving gangs of murderers in colonial India. An ancient herb whose seed inspired the "heart" shape as a symbol of love. A breed of dog so flexible that it can bend its head back over its spine without injury. These are some of the topics Damn Interesting has articles on, and there are dozens more. The topics themselves are fascinating enough, but the Damn Interesting writers are able to present the information in a way that is easy to understand without compromising the topics' intrigue. The writers are able to create a sense of the time and place in which their topics developed, using diction and structure to convey setting while still remaining informative. The site is run by curious people for curious people. If you're looking for inspiration or just information, DamnInteresting.com is a fantastic place to be.
