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.

It's slightly comforting to know that Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy will probabally be watched for as long as people watch movies and future generations will only remember the name Harvey Weinstein as the guy who was the model for the evilest and ugliest orc in the series.

I recently saw his ugly mug in the news again and was reminded of his defense that all the sexual acts he forced on various women were all consensual... I call bullsh1te on that. What woman would willingly have this disgusting example of a man touch them in any sexual way?!? (He apparently thought that the massages he more or less begged for gave him licence to s3xually assault the women... And if they refused him he set out to ruin their careers)
What started out as a silly quarantine project has now become a vastly popular endeavor for Annie. The Depths of Wikipedia page on Instagram has 1.4 million followers and 13.3 million likes on TikTok. In 2022, Rauwerda became the Media Contributor of the Year. The accounts have even spawned live comedy shows that Annie hosts based on trivia from Wikipedia.
Back in a 2021 interview for Bored Panda, Annie detailed how the page came to be. "It was early quarantine (the stage when everyone was attempting new projects), and I was working on a page of my friend's quaranzine. I wanted to piece together Wikipedia excerpts into some virtual art."

It's only fitting that the account has its own Wikipedia page. The entry details how Depths of Wikipedia first became famous due to Instagram influencer Caroline Calloway. She brought the page to the attention of her followers by criticizing a post where her occupation was described as "nothing."
Annie very graciously apologized to her, and Calloway then shared a few of the account's posts on her social media. Rauwerda says that boosted her account a lot. Today, many famous people follow the Depths of Wikipedia account, including John Mayer (Annie says she fangirled about his follow the most), Troye Sivan, Neil Gaiman, Olivia Wilde, and Lex Fridman.

Heather Woods, an assistant professor of Rhetoric and Technology at Kansas State University, explained to The New York Times that the appeal of the Depths of Wikipedia comes from its ability to make the Internet feel smaller.

Rauwerda is a big believer in crowd-sourced knowledge. She often encourages people to contribute to Wikipedia, and she is an editor herself. "Protecting open-access information is so vital. You should definitely start editing if you don't already,” Annie told us back in 2021. "It's such a rewarding and impactful hobby, and we need more people with diverse perspectives in editing."

As a child, I stuttered, so it took considerable time to read my paragraph to the class. Without any testing I was put in a remedial reading program: awesome, I loved reading more than boring classes. Several weeks later my progress was tested. I finished the test, so afterwards the examiner jokingly suggested I cheated. As a grade 5 student I shouldn't have finished the test as it was to measure up to grade 12. After some cross words to the principal & teacher, I was dropped from the reading program and started speech therapy the next week. Damn, I missed that reading time.

I would argue that toast is once baked and, subsequently, once broiled.
Donkey boi 1 year ago
I would argue that 'Broiled' is a word typically only used in North America. The rest of us aren't really sure what it actually means. Is it a cross between 'baked' and 'boiled'? Is it an abbreviation for 'Brushed and oiled'? Is it a brand of cookers?

Biscuits. English style, twice baked, crunchy. Toast is baked then toasted.

Doesn't the word biscuit come up from the Italian "bis cotti" meaning "twice baked "?

What about a German »Zwieback«? It's like a frigging »Zwiegespräch« or a firetrucking »Zwiespalt«, where »Zwie-« means Zwei, zwei mal, doppelt (gemoppelt)...🇩🇪

Is this like the word "literally" which now means anything but literally?
digitalin 1 year ago
I was about to suggest this too. The wrong use of "literally" bothers me, but then, language changes over time, so if it's used hyperbolically enough, does it become proper use over time? Is this similar to me using stupid slang ironically until it just becomes what I say?

Gaslighting, toxic, narcissist, all therapy speak From Republicans specifically: communist (an overused word since the election 9 days ago, overused by Maga bullies to insult anyone who exercised their freedom of speech to disagree with them about their felon, rapist, racist, grifting god), weaponized government, weaponized anything else, regime, alternative facts, protect the children (so they can be stripped of all rights and free lunch and starve in the streets when their single mom loses all forms of social net), abortion after birth, late term abortion, transgender surgery (they falsely claim happens in elementary schools everywhere, all the time "send your kid to school a boy and he'll come home a girl"), alphabet people, dei hire, black jobs, etc the list goes on and on of the words they've reversed the meaning of!!!

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.

Barbie and Ken were originally named for Barbara and Kenneth Handler, the children of Barbie creator Ruth Handler, while the full name Barbara Millicent Roberts dates from a series of novelizations published in the 1960s.

and not, as one might think, all the loot stolen by the baby jesus :)
TheElderNom 1 year ago
He probably steals to be able to deliver gifts. At least in some parts of Germany baby Jesus or child Jesus delivers the gifts on Christmas

But, what about those nativity where baby Jesus is encased in a snow globe? That can't be considered theft when it's such an unrealistic depiction of a bubble of snow that didnt exist in the desert where Jesus would've been born, right?
