For whatever I thought it might be fun to dedicate a thread to things people find trippy/cool/interesting. Everyone has something they've come across and though "Oh man, this is neat!" so why not share your fun and eccentric finds with the world?
Here are a few opening contributions:
I think contact juggling is trippy.
Oh the Japanese and their funny physics experiments
On topic but a slightly different interpretation of your title: I find passionate people fascinating.
I could listen to them ramble on for hours, it's just exciting to see people be themselves, no holds barred.
I know we might be discussing something controversial or something I completely disagree with but having that sort of interaction with a person where their face lights up and they share something about themselves, or about who they are, is comparable to few other experiences for me.
I'm not too great at it, but I love biology. I only got a 65% in Grade 11 Bio but I would read the textbook in my spare time. Everything about how our bodies and other life forms work, is fascinating.

what i find extremely interesting is just "life" itself and just how complex everything truly is..we take a lot of things for granted like how our body functions and how we have oxygen to breathe and a beautiful night sky to look at (out side of cities) but all of these things somehow perfectly fit in together and all play a role in life and i love researching on topics like this and about the planet i find that its really fascinating. I know it sounds corny and cheesy but i dunno i really just like it

I completely agree!

I find history fascinating. I mean, not all of it. But I think Greek mythology is really cool and the Renaissance time (mostly the Tudors) super interesting. And no, I do not watch "The Tudors."
