According to Wikipedia, 'Depths of Wikipedia' is a social media project dedicated to highlighting the unusual and entertaining facts from the platform. Annie Rauwerda started it in 2020 and has even performed live comedy shows based on the things she found.
Considering there are over seven million articles on the English version of the encyclopedia alone, she's probably not going to run out of material any time soon as well. And since it's open source, everyone gets to contribute to the madness.
If you're a fan of rabbit holes, this place is like a never ending tunnel, full of nooks and crannies.

So I once had a job as a cook. 6 am to 2 om, no break, no lunch. You coukd eat a meal but no official time off. The owners wife used to be the cook but had to have both knees replaced. One day I busted a*s and sat down to eat. I was asked why I was sitting. I explained all my work was done. I was told I could help wash dishes then. Never again and quit soon after. Yes, at that time ( late eighties ) Pennsylvania had no law requiring a break.

At the time when Rauwerda launched 'Depths of Wikipedia,' she was a sophomore at the University of Michigan.
"Wikipedia is the best thing on the internet,” she told The New York Times. "It's what the internet was supposed to be. It has this hacker ethos of working together and making something."
At first, only her friends were following the account, but it received a lot of attention when Rauwerda posted about the influencer Caroline Calloway, who was upset that the post featured an old version of her Wikipedia page that said her occupation was "nothing."

I guess it only applies to observant and self-aware fathers who are not prone to misogyny. I remember reading about one father who was at a mall with his wife and daughter, who were both doing their own shopping while he was relaxing on a bench in the upper tier. He looked over to see sketchy looking men following both his wife and his daughter, like they were stalking them. When one started to get suspiciously close to his daughter, he ran down to where his daughter was and got her away, then went to find his wife so they could leave the mall. That experience opened his eyes to the risks of potential harm from men that women face when doing even the most mundane things, like shopping. That was something he never had to worry about, and didn’t think was an issue—-until he saw it play out in front of him and with his own wife and daughter. Some men never think something women express concern about is an issue until they see it happen, with their own eyes, to someone they love.

The real problem with jurors that have watched CSI is that too many of them think that forensics is infallible. When jurors are too easily fooled by the prosecutions "evidence" innocent people can go to jail or even be executed. Ask Google about Cameron Todd Willingham.

I feel like jurors in general, aka people judging others with no expertise, have a lot more influence than their expertise accounts for. The original idea of getting judged by "people like yourself" as opposed to "betters" has a certain charme, but in the end it all devolves into a competition between two showmen trying to con people into their corner. Witnesses seem to make it even worse, as their accounts are notoriously subjective and often highly inaccurate.

Rauwerda said part of why there are so many Easter eggs on Wikipedia is that the contributors are very diligent and driven primarily by passion. After all, they aren’t getting paid for their work, so “they just [write and] edit the things that they think are interesting.”
As an example, she mentioned a guy from Seattle who has created dozens—maybe hundreds—of articles about different interstates in the American Northwest.

Only in extremely theoretical or large-scale calculations, such as finding the volume of the observable universe with a precision finer than a hydrogen atom, might more digits be needed. "

My last job I felt like the "jobless employed".

I was so bored, even though I could read books during my down time, but I wanted to actually be working, not reading a book for 8 hours. That's not what I went to phlebotomy school to do. So I got another job, where I'm doing phlebotomy 2 days a week and working the front desk 2 days a week (12 hour days) and I'm literally so busy during work hours that I don't have enough time to do everything they assign me.

Excess sebum can lead to hair loss. Washing your hair does not. Some shampoos clean the sebum on your scalp and let your hair follicles grow hair. If nothing else, give your scalp a good scrub when you wash your hair, no matter what kind of hair on your head nor how much hair

When I shampoo my hair, I scrub my scalp with a hairbrush. After I started doing that, I noticed my hair began growing much faster.

Is the headless mule a frightening creature? I mean will it lead you astray into the forest or trick you into riding it then drown you or something?
Starbug 6 days ago
It's similar to werewolf lore: the cursed woman turns into the headless mule every Thursday night and runs along forests, cemeteries or churchyards terrorising anyone nearby with sparkles from her iron hooves that lit the ground on fire, and a blood-curling neigh

I ordered a copy of that book from Amazon decades ago. They sent me "Llama, Llama, Red Pyjama". I sent it back. They sent it to me again. I sent it back again. They refused to do any more to fulfill my order 🙁
