9 things I recently sent myself on Instagram

All of us share a lot of content online that we consume. We see a video, a post, a meme, or a tweet that we like, and we send it to people who we think will also appreciate it. Often, we're holding up a screen, showing our phones to others, but many of these shared moments get forgotten. We are so inundated with information that we tend to forget a lot of what we consume and become desensitized to the volume of content we encounter. However, one practice I find meaningful as a measure of my interest in something—or as a way to curate content—is when I send myself something on Instagram. Doing this means I'm saving it because I value it. Every once in a while, I’d like to highlight some posts that I've recently sent to myself on Instagram, for whatever reason. here are 9 recent posts i sent myself on IG.

I love this type of thing because it takes an ordinarily outstanding statistic and contextualizes it in terms that enable one to grasp the insanity of the achievement. Check it out here.

A Turkish Dessert

This is a delicious Turkish dessert being made, and I’m drawn to this video because of the excellence, expertise, and mastery. The motions are so skillful. Watch the video here.

Dropped Cake Mishap

This video is very different from the last one. The previous video was about precision and someone compeletely in their zone, but this one is a really unhinged occurrence that we could all probably identify with. See the mishap here.

Architectural Chocolate Creations

It is amazing what people do, and this is a really wild example of what a guy does with chocolate bars. Watch the incredible work here.

Bamboo Cooking

I just loved seeing this. I’ve never cooked a meal like this, and it looks incredible. Check out the process here.

The Spider Thing

I love this because it is seemingly witchcraft, but it is important for humans to remember that there is a whole plethora of stuff going on at all times that we are not privy to and cannot see, hear, smell, or taste. There are so many things in this world that we do not understand or cannot begin to experience. This is a very cool example of things humans cannot see. Watch it here.

Inspiring Strength

I love strength, and this video is just so inspiring because of how strong this person is. Check out the impressive feat here.

Larry Doesn’t Like Things

I really love this, and I love how the guy asks if it’s a bit, and he’s just so incredibly Larry. Enjoy the moment here.

The Straw Trick

I have a funnel, and I need a funnel. I tried this trick out, and it worked not to perfection but incredibly well. Watch the trick here.
