People Are Amused By These 15 Screenshots Of Wikipedia Tables Of Contents That Come Without Context Shared On Twitter
People have always been taught to consider things in context and to consider different perspectives of a given issue, but screw that, sometimes taking things out of context just for kicks is good old-fashioned fun.
And what better way to do this than to use Wikipedia tables of contents? I wish I was making this up, but it was a thing for a very short period of time in internet history when Twitter user @ZeeZeeMooMoo posted a screencap of the table of contents of the Wikipedia article for the 1859 Pig War.
If you know what it’s all about, this all looks rather normal, but picture knowing nothing about it, knowing absolutely no context. It does make you wonder how the heck is this a thing, how did whatever this article is talking about come to this, what happened, now I need to know?!
The short-lived, but still noteworthy little thread is all neatly posted in a curated list below for your enjoyment, so check it out, vote and comment appropriately, and tell us what you thought of it in the comment section!

Life, death and pizza. All the bases are covered.
Load More Replies...Entry now reads "Pizza career" which isn't quite as fun as just Pizza, but good find nonetheless.
Load More Replies...Makes sense, eating too much pizza early on in life can lead to clogged arteries, obesity, diabetes and early death. Whole lot between the lines of just three words 😀
I wanted to b u r n that book. It makes me so mad. That's how you know it's a good read!
Load More Replies...it's not the bay of pigs; it's the pig war (1859)

Is that an actual song? I need to listen to it!
Load More Replies...This is in regards to the Super Smash Bros. and allegations of sexual misconduct in 2020.
@Eric Mesh. Yes Sir I believe you nailed it with your answer. 😎👍
Load More Replies...John Hinckley. He attempted to assassinate President Reagan in order to impress Jodie Foster, whom he became obsessed with after watching her in the movie Taxi Driver.
I still can't believe that a guy that shot a sitting US president was ever set free. I had always thought they'd just throw away the key.
It wasn't KoolAid, it was a cheaper alternative. "They drank the flavoraid" doesn't sound as strong as "They drank the koolaid".
Load More Replies...Grape koolaid got a bad rap. Jim Jones was a cowardly parasitic slug. An with all due respect congressman Leo Joseph Ryan gave his life for his constituents. A true person of the people.
With all due respect it was Flavor-Aid...... Kool-Aid just keeps gettin caught in the crossfire
Load More Replies...my bet is that its for flavor-ade (sp?) the drink used by jones in the massacre. (most people think it was kool aid but nope. off brand.)
Load More Replies...Dunno on the Moon, fairytale novel by Nikolay Nosov, USSR, satire on Western capitalism.
Ha, yes, I grew up reading the "Dunno" trilogy. Probably my favourite was the second, "Dunno in Sun City".
Load More Replies...Shapes that don't love each other, they are just friends

After you get to 20, things start falling apart and you get degeneration.
"Cuba and the Nobel Prize; Idaho and Suicide" could be a line in We Didn't Start the Fire
Great, now I've got that song running through my head!!! 🤯
Load More Replies...I thought Early, Pizza and Death were the ultimate stages of life, but this escalated things to a whole new level.
I like how the Sex Funk Period comes right before death
Load More Replies...I wonder when the Sex Funk period of my life will commence, because it’s going to have to hurry up if it wants to beat the menopause.
Shawn Phillips maybe I'd would also say Bob Dylan, but he's still alive. Come to think about it; I'm not sure if shawn Phillips is alive,or not. So yeah basically I'm just guessing lol.
Prince?... no, couldn't be. Somebody who died right after becoming sexy
Agreed. I considered Prince, but his Sex Funk period came way earlier.
Load More Replies...Revolutionary Movement Tupamaro (Spanish: Movimiento Revolucionario Tupamaro, MRT), often shortened to Tupamaro, is a far-left Marxist-Leninist political party and one of the most prominent colectivos in Venezuela.
This would have been a lot more interesting if the context was actually revealed. As it is now, it's weird, but also incomprehensible.
