Born on 15 January 2001, Wikipedia has forever changed the ways we consume knowledge as nothing was out of reach anymore. It made it possible to solve trivia if you had access to wifi, it made us consume thousands of random facts, names, dates and places we won’t ever need, it helped us to make a fierce impression on a first date, and served as a holy grail of all of our high school Powerpoint presentations.

Still today, it’s our go-to source for learning stuff we don’t even bother to double-check, and it’s the place you stumble across a whole Wikipedia page dedicated to the life of your random-ass neighbor.

But something as big and influential as our beloved digital encyclopedia has to have something so much more going on we don’t see. Luckily, thanks to the ‘Depths of Wikipedia’ Instagram page, we now are able to dive deep beneath that iceberg and see all the weird and wonderful things published on there. “Wikipedia is Weird!” states the page’s slogan, but trust me, it gets way weirder than that. Get your snorkels ready, we’re about to dive deep!

Don’t get me wrong when you read this; he’s actually a really nice guy. But our landlord is an “Umarell” every time he has repairmen come in to work on the house we’re renting from him. Next week is going to be the downstairs A/C and duct work. He’ll be in his element. BTW, he’s a retired John Deere franchise owner. So no, he does not have construction, HVAC, electrical, painting (inside or out), or plumbing experience. But he sure likes to “supervise” any professionals in those fields that he hires (who have confided to us in the past that they just smile and nod and wait for him to decide to get back in his truck and “leave them to it”, so they can actually get their work done).

    One of the best things about this film are the reviews. One of my favourites: This movie is the second coming of Jesus Christ. The film perfectly poetries society as its finest and you can truly feel the world and forget you are watching a movie. The characters feel like my best friends and the betrayals strike hard and fast leaving me in shock. You want the paint to succeed but you learn that life is;t always fair. The ending truly brings me to tears when the paint fulfills his purpose. I wish I could forget watching this masterpiece just to experience it for the first time. This needs to be watched by everyone from children to the elderly. Lastly, the score and music just leave me star-struck. It perfectly matches the tone of the movie and I always find myself listing to it. In conclusion, this film is a masterpiece of its era this deserves more than a 10/10 I look forward to seeing this film in the hall of fame.

    why is a rating censorship Without it some filmmaker could make a film called Cuties slap pictures of cats on it and some unsuspecting parent would put it on only to find that thes cats kill with extreme gore. Ratings at least give you an idea about what you might see and whether it is appropriate fro kids.

    To find out more about the creator of this weird and wonderful corner of the internet, Bored Panda reached out to Annie Rauwerda, a 21-year-old neuroscience student at the University of Michigan. Annie told us that there was no lightbulb-over-the-head epiphany when deciding to create “Depths Of Wikipedia.”

    “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.”

    And...all over the world. At a time when men were killed for being gay, this was the only thing they could do. BTW..... they did this to women, too. "Elderly spinsters" were often survived by their "companions", the implication being that the companions were hired help when in fact they were partners.

    Person could have been asexual, not wanting to settle down, preferring to co-habit or any other number of reasons for not marrying. It's a very outdated view of people who never married. My mother told me that Kenneth Williams the famous actor wasn't or had never married so therefore he must have been gay because other actors his age were onto their second or third marriage by then.

    Then no mention of his marital status would be made, in the same way you wouldn't mention other 'flaws' (I'm not saying being a playboy is necessarily a flaw but at the time in question it would have been seen as such).

    "Never married" is a terrible euphemism, because wherever and whenever marriage is socially obligatory, most gay men bite the bullet and marry women. Oscar Wilde was married, he had two sons!

    Though for me, the Kindle Tsundoku is unread samples rather than purchased books. I was pretty bad pre-Kindle with buying paper books I never read. Some, I started but didn't like enough to continue. Plenty of them, though, I bought thinking I wanted to read them, but got onto something else and never picked them up. Now, I make myself read the sample before buying the book. I have very few unfinished books on my Kindle.

    I read a biography on him which included a lot of his letters and accounts from his friends. The impression you get is that he was trying realllllllllllllllllly hard to create the idea he was some troubled, poverty stricken bohemian arty type to PR his writing. The reality seems to be that he was a womanising, booze loving, lazy kid from a fairly wealthy family.

When he finally died, they packed their s**t and ran out on the rent, and took a train to a better life. Mom looks happy, Dad got a job, and little sister has gone from a zitface insecurity to a lovely young woman ready to bag a rich husband.

    Exactly how I wrote my 193 page Masters Thesis in 10 weeks, even though I had a year and a half to plan for it (125 pages of original content, the rest were appendices, bibliography, title pages, illustrations, dedication, table of contents, etc). Subject approved early February. Research rest of February and through March—-with one week off to cleanse my brain because of some of the more disturbing subject matter. Initial rough drafts of each chapter initially submitted early April, then returned with suggestions, rewritten and resubmitted until finally approved beginning of May. Final draft submitted and approved mid-May, a week before graduation. (Then, of course, came the formatting for the printing and binding of copies for the university library, my family, and myself, which lasted into summer. But the actual researching and writing took 10 weeks.)

    Guilty as charged. To be fair, I had to let my mind roll the ideas around in order to formulate what I was going to write. I always paid attention in class. I always took notes. I did my research. But I almost never did an outline or first draft, and never got lower than a B. Graduate school was the complete opposite. I nearly lived in the library, and got the same grades.

    When asked what was the weirdest thing she has come across on Wikipedia, Annie said that there are so many good ones. “Some that come to mind are Tourist guy, List of films that most frequently use the word 'f**k,' Roadkill cuisine, and Timeline of the far future.”

    And when it comes to using Wikipedia in her daily life, the creator assured us she definitely uses it. “Protecting open-access information is so vital. You should definitely start editing if you don't already,” Annie said and added that “it's such a rewarding and impactful hobby, and we need more people with diverse perspectives in editing.”

Plus, the second the BBC even *think* of doing an April Fool prank they get accused of Fake News (well, duh!) and calls to have the licence fee revoked because how dare they not say everything about the current government is wonderful and amazing and the best and... gah!

    Referenced in Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett. It's also covered by the attitude "they think they're better than they are" - note, this doesn't mean "they think they're better than ME", but rather "we come from the same background, how DARE they think they're better than me". Stops people improving their lot in life by sheer peer pressure. And a lot of it (as mentioned in the novel) is *inside our own heads*

    The Peter principle - the original theory - is more common, I think. It's where employees who are competent are promoted... until they reach a position they are not competent in, and stop there. This happens even when everyone involved means well, but tends to create bad managers - simply because they were good at the previous job which required completely different skills.

    There was a study published in Psychology Today that linked the Dunning-Kruger Effect to most Trump supporters and explained their willingness to follow him. The Effect basically means that someone is too stupid to know they are too stupid and too stubborn to admit they are wrong even when presented with the truth.

    Teachers are well aware of this effect. There is also the opposite end of this effect that intelligent/competant people also tend to underestimate themselves. "Great minds think alike, though fools seldom differ."

    It is. On "mass hysteria". "Selon un livre de 1844 citant un manuel médical non identifié, une religieuse d'un couvent français vivant au Moyen Âge a inexplicablement commencé à miauler comme un chat, poussant rapidement les autres religieuses du couvent à miauler. Finalement, toutes les religieuses miaulaient ensemble pendant un temps conséquent, chaque jour, dans l'étonnement le plus total de la communauté. Le phénomène se poursuivit jusqu'à ce que la police menace de fouetter les religieuses." ""One began to meow then the others followed. It stopped when the police threatened to wip them."But maybe rye-ergot? And Europeeans nuns and friars are famous for their booze too.

    I’ll never understand the “planet forever” crowd. Nothing has changed about Pluto except for the list it’s on, and the list is simply more detailed because we’re learning more and more about the solar system. If we’d known Pluto’s size and makeup when we discovered it, it never would have been called a planet in the first place. If Pluto is a planet, then so is Ceres, Makemake, Haumea, and Eris. Now, if you think that all of those objects should also have been called planets instead of making a new category, fine. But either Pluto and several other objects are dwarf planets, or we have more than 14 planets in the solar system.

    I've got to wonder if car design has something to do with it. I have two cars, one is a 1986 Mustang, the other is a 2019. The 86 accumulates far more bugs because of the fact that the windshield is angled far more steeply, and the newer car has some kind of coating that water flows off easily. I don't even use my wipers much unless it's raining really hard.

    The "cortical homunculus" used was from a male donor addicted to "adult internet content." Your turn will come -hopefully- when the boffins get their hands (no pun intended) on a deceased female, a long-time employee of the Department of Motor Vehicles. Preferably the one setting the CLOSED sign when it is just right your turn, then turning around to go for a smoke break, parading to all her thighs. I'm betting she had a lot of cortical space devoted to that body part’s movement!

    This is well-known in automotive safety; people in a rickety car with failing brakes tend to drive more timidly than those with all safety features, and people drive faster on straight roads. See e.g. city roads getting obstacles put back after they were removed to make it safer (but accident rates went up). Same with planes (specifically, Cirrus planes that have a parachute for the whole plane), having better features seems to lead pilots to take unsafe decisions (like take off with dodgy weather coming up).

Those together are 50 (kg) (a bubble is a kg)

    If they feed them they'd return, so no. The lesson is, "stay away from unnatural structures". THere's no reason to go explain the bear the reason, because well you can't reason with a bear.

    At my former job we had a phantom pooper that would massively poop next to our back door every year when spring started. We started telling each other it was finally spring cause the phantom pooper has arrived. Then one year someone puked on the poop before we had a chance to clean it up. One of my coworkers ran inside and yelled, “HEY EVERYONE! ŠOMEONE PUKED ON THE SH!T”. Thankfully no customers were there since we had just opened for the day.

    It's a cabbage-like smell. One of our doctors contributed to a study about it. Their results led to a possible explanation being that the elderly tend to eat their vegetables softer (due to dental conditions), meaning the veg was boiled for longer, meaning less nutrients but maintaining the fibrous composition. The way the stomach digests the veg results in a change the way the food is processed by the body, creating a change in chemical balance of the body's natural oils.

    Do these maps still have the Mercator projection, stretching the landmasses incorrectly? It doesn't look like it - but it seems the Northern hemisphere is more heavily populated, just by where the equator lies.

    The problem: Apart from the sparsely populated polar and mid-lattitudes of the Southern hemisphere, the global South IS poor and therefore also has cheap real estate. Did anyone who referred to this as "bias" ever consider that the removal of the bias is simply due to disorientation, or, in this case, the focus on wealthy but relatively insignifant Australia?

    Actually, I must admit that I think my cat got more beautiful when she grew up. I don't know, but there have been studies that the scheme doesn't affect all people in the same degree ... I also find newborn humans incredibly ugly, but usually don't tell proud parents that their newborn will need a year or two to grow out of being THAT ugly ... wouldn't be polite, but true, it would be.
