👋 Hey Product Hunt! I’m Ruxandra, and I started Curiosity Saved The Cat out of (you guessed it) curiosity. I wanted a space to slow down, explore the internet beyond algorithms, and share the things that spark wonder, from underrated headlines and smart essays to fun tools and obscure corners of the web. Every Sunday, a new edition lands in your inbox, built around a theme (like “The Illusion of Progress,” “The Case for Embracing Friction,” or “Reclaiming the Slow Lane”). Think of it as a curated scroll, without the doom. ✨ Inside each edition, you'll find: 📖 3 long-form reads that make you think 🗞️ 3 underrated or offbeat headlines ⚡ 3 ways to shake up your comfort zone 🎲 6 fun & quirky things: to learn, cook, try, visit, etc. 🌐 A “random corner of the internet” to wander into 📝 A word & question of the week to spark introspection Whether you're a maker, creative, writer, or just someone who's curious to explore the wonders of the internet in more depth, this is for you. 🐾 Let’s stay curious, not just optimized. 👉 You can check out the archive or subscribe here: https://curiositysavedthecat.com Would love your feedback, thoughts, or just a 👋 if this sounds like your cup of tea (matcha, coffee, whatever it is).

Did you know long weekends were invented by a Victorian banker?

That's one of the rabbit holes I went down for Edition #59 of Curiosity Saved The Cat, which went out this Sunday

His name was John Lubbock, and in 1871, he decided that workers and the financial system needed structured days on which banks could legally close (but not for the reason you might expect, as he had an interesting hobby he wanted to pursue).

Did you know food brands pick their colors based on exactly what they want you to feel?

That's one of the rabbit holes I went down for Edition #58 of Curiosity Saved The Cat, which went out this Sunday

Red makes you hungry, blue kills your appetite, and orange feels like a snack. None of that is accidental: it's color psychology applied deliberately, and food brands have been doing it for decades. But the more interesting part is that this conversation between your brain and color is happening everywhere, all the time, whether you're looking at a logo or just reaching for a mug in the morning.

Did you know we underestimate how much we'll enjoy a session of small talk?

That's one of the things that stuck with me while putting together Edition #57 of Curiosity Saved The Cat, which went out this Sunday

A study involving 1,800 participants across 9 experiments found the same pattern: we consistently underestimate how much we'll enjoy talking to someone, which might explain why we spend so much energy trying to skip past small talk rather than actually having it.
