      I doubt Britanica has a page dedicated to Limp Bizkit.

      The encyclopedia even came on CD for a while. It was called Encarta. But I loved my parent’s World Book Encyclopedia much more.

      Still have em! They’ll be the last source of actual knowledge once the AI slop destroys us.

  Not all physical books are accessible, eg the log books of Christopher Columbus. DOGE is defunding libraries and Dept of Ed. Academics are fleeing. This collapse of knowledge is bad.
