With the enshittification of the entire internet in full effect, we really gotta make sure that this foundational corner of the internet doesn’t get lost. Donate to Wikipedia if you got some spare cash, please.

It’s hard to explain to people that wikipedia is one of my hobbies 🥲
how do you find things to research about?
I’m not op, but just spend an hour on wiki again.
For me it usually just happens randomly. Today it was because watching news which included the start of the last Ariane 5. I was mainly interested, how much “fuel” (propellant) is used and the relation between launch weight and payload weight. I quickly got distracted by rocket engines and read here and there.
Then I am currently reading a book about WW2 u boats, so I’ve read the Wikipedia regarding that specific type of U-boat, the torpedos, the torpedo calculation computer, the lives of several commanders, …
Recently my kid played with clay, so I got to read a little about the process of firing clay, basically wanting to know if I can diy it.
Normally the things I want to know more about just fly in by themselves.
It’s also just stayed true to its cause. The old reliable.
I agree with you. So I just donated money to them here
The world at you fingertips; the ocean at your door.
For sure good. Also Wookiepedia. I’ve spent so many hours just scrolling wookiepedia while commuting.
wikipedia has some wild shit
this band did a cover of a song about getting a boner in a dance club
go to the 9/11 controversy section, in the History part
I do love Wikipedia but also wonder how many incorrect facts I’m carrying around in my brain.
One of the few websites I willingly give money on a regular basis. Considering its impact and reliability, the ~$20 I give yearly is a phenomenal deal.
I am asking this question in good faith, op, do you have autism?
Nope, I just like wikipedia and figured 196 does, too
