What are the websites, articles, books or games most intellectually stimulating to you? (lemmy.world)

Since completing my education, I've noticed a decrease in mentally stimulating activities in my daily life. For this reason I've been experiencing a sense of cognitive decline, feeling like my mind isn't being challenged or engaged as much as it used to be. I'm looking for ways to stimulate my brain back. I'm interested in exploring activities that can help, such as reading, puzzles, games, and other intellectually stimulating stuff. Could you recommend some engaging and challenging options to help me get started? Thanks a lot

Get into Ham Radio, not just get a license and talk, get into it. make your own radio, antennas, learn the science, learn firmware programming and microcontrollers, everywhere you turn there is something new to learn and puzzle at. And you can help with community service things (only if you want to). It’s great because you can go as deep as you want (or as shallow), keep your mind engaged and have fun doing it.
