What it does

An endless scroll of short clips, the way TikTok does it, except every clip is a real fact from Wikipedia. A narrator reads it out, the captions light up word by word, and something procedural plays behind (a marble run, Minecraft-style parkour, a hydraulic press). Swipe up for the next one.

Brainrot is what people call that format: a fact or a story over gameplay footage nobody asked for, made to keep you scrolling. The format is the joke here. The facts are real, and each clip links to its article.

• 9,976 facts come with it, from Wikipedia's Did You Know hooks, featured articles and vital articles (the 10,000 articles its editors call the most important). About one clip in five is a random article fetched live.
• A narrator that runs on your phone. It's Kokoro, a small open text-to-speech model, downloaded once (about 100 MB). Until it's ready, or when it falls behind, the feed slips in one of 200 clips recorded ahead of time in the same voice, and after that your device's own voice.
• A backdrop that suits the fact. Ships get a fleet at sea, battles a sand table, a typhoon a storm chaser racing a tornado, space a flight past planets, films the article's picture on a cinema screen, books a pop-up book whose pieces fold the way real paper does, elements a Bohr atom with the right number of electrons, food a hydraulic press.
• The article's photos pop in on the word they're of, and the comments are half nonsense and half real sentences from further down the article.
• The heart saves a fact and tells the feed you want more like it. Swiping past fast tells it the opposite.
• Hold for 2x, tap to pause. There's captions only, three caption sizes and a reduced motion setting for a calmer camera.
