My most recent rabbit hole was a series of Reddit threads about Icelandic naming conventions because not only do Icelanders not have last names (they use patronyms and matronyms), all first names must be on an approved list (or you’ll need to apply to have the name added by a committee). Fascinating!

Last night I got in a deep rabbit hole shopping for a beaded necklace. Mostly on Etsy, which I haven't explored in awhile, and also across Instagram trying to find a small business whose values align with me before I buy something! Ultimately decided to go shopping locally this weekend and order one of the ones I loved on Etsy if I don't find anything in person.

My last wikipedia spiral, after we watched Empire of the Sun, was about Shanghai and its colonial history. Just a little light reading! And then also the Terri Schiavo case after a recent MMM episode

Having kids is it's own little rabbit hole generator and my 10-year old loves history. So what started as us watching a YouTube short about the tulips in Holland led to a deep dive on 4 part series on Tulip Mania as part of Europes Economic history.
