40 Times People Found Such Hilarious Gems On Wikipedia, They Just Had To Share (New Pics)
Your teachers may have told you that Wikipedia is not a solid source for academic essays. But that doesn't mean it's not a good source to have a laugh or two. Or for your nerdy side to get lost for half a day in some obscure article about planned procrastination and all its related links.
Luckily, there's an online page where you can find all kinds of weird snippets from Wikipedia. The Depths of Wikipedia is a hugely popular account with millions of fans on all its social media platforms. You can find our previous articles on this group of social media accounts here and here.

Sounds kinda fun in a wierd way if you choose random enough topics that the presenter has never heard of before
One is a soulless monster with no redeeming qualities. The other is an Orc.
I just like to say that there's a short circuit between the chair and the keyboard.
Somewhere there's a geologist looking at fossils, they must have got their notes mixed up.
Amazingly they appear in the drawings of ALL children, no matter what their culture and all around the same age of development. Like language, they're a universal trait of homo sapiens and probably always have been.
The reason this no longer exists is because people started taking the jesters seriously and not the people they were mocking.
Well, that explains why there's nothing complimentary on the 'housecat' Wikipedia page.
My middle name’s the name of a dish (International to my country so my parents didn’t know it at the time they named me, lol). My toxic trait is thinking that, should I move to the country this dish originates from, I will receive it free as and when my heart desires. (Ps: it’s an absolutely scrumptious dish that is popular worldwide now!) (edit: guys I don’t want to share my name here, no matter how funny it is, but tiramisu sounds like a great name to have, 😄)
Makes sense. Every time I enter a MOBA I always end up leaving with an intense disgust for the human race
If dogs made a self-awareness test, it most probably would require to recognise one's own scent and dogs could conclude that humans have no awareness of self.
Whoa, I didn't know that. My old teachers used this. I live in a country that used to be colonized by the Dutch. This flourish actually makes sense to me now.
This video talks about it. Apparently, it was most likely caused by a squirrel that jumped from a roof and landed in wet concrete. It would likely have scampered away unharmed and lived out the rest of its little squirrel life. https://youtu.be/3vzjlxaJRnk?si=edJGusSgVqVWr9w0
I'm sure this phenomenon is the reason horror movies have been so popular with generations of courting couples.
I would argue that toast is once baked and, subsequently, once broiled.
I imagine a Pokemon fan circling this building looking for the 1st "Kan"
Turns out it was because the horse could read the people's body language, not math.
Is this like the word "literally" which now means anything but literally?
Joe Garagiola was a popular TV personality back then, and Texas was a former Dixiecrat state that since 1964 was very reticent to vote for Democrats in high political office. Gerald Ford losing Texas to Jimmy Carter was not only shocking but also a bit of schadenfreude for someone so breathtakingly corrupt that he perverted justice in the case of Richard Nixon by pardoning him as soon as he could. If Nixon had never been pardoned, the Republicans wouldn't exist as they currently do today, because that was the beginning of their precipitous downslide into immorality.
and not, as one might think, all the loot stolen by the baby jesus :)
I just learned I got tsundoku. Probably severe tsundoku. And I love it!
