I would like to hijack this wonderful thread to say you too should read about Fred Hampton. Every US citizen should. He was a black activist assassinated by the police and FBI for trying to unite several oppressed groups. They had an associate drug him and then shot him in his sleep.

So, the next recommended-video after ‘Trapped on Wikipedia’ was very interesting.
A description of the topology, zones, and interconnectedness of Wikipedia and its articles.

Can someone ELI5 what an additive site is?
roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Addictive… will correct.
200ok@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, yeah that makes more sense. Thanks!

When you grow up and should know better, sometimes you can still make mistakes, like the person who is OP. What OP tried to say was “addictive”, but due to lack of education or (more likely) care this question was born.

Yeah I just didn’t proof read and posted from my phone.

This remind me of time where people would challenge people to start at random wiki page to find page to certain page using just links through pages with least clicks.

There’s a dedicated website if you like wikispeedrun.org

Next step AI generated videos based off the articles, with that annoying influencer voice.
isles@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You mean pdftobrainrot.org?
dariusj18@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Kinda, but the video would be AI generated and relevant

No I shouldn’t know this. It’s dangerous

This is awesome. Thanks a lot!

Love this! Any idea if it algorithms the posts based on time spent or some other metrics?
abbadon420@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I think the algorithm comes from the Math.Random library.

I love this, but is anyone else having trouble with the css/text? Chrome seems to dim the images, but the white text is unreadable on all the images for firefox. Doesn’t work on Safari at all.
roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I use Firefox and it reads fine for me.
dr_scientist@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It will remain a mystery

Is there something in the App Store?
roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Just use your browser to make it an app. You won’t know the difference.
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
No, but someone should make an app for it… Probably could make a bit of money.

Why did you just make another addictive site and celebrate it? I dont want infinite scroll anywhere
roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I don’t make this, but I think it’s better to scroll reality than social media.

A rabbit hole worthy of a deep dive.
(Just lost 15 minutes checking it out. Gonna have to watch that. Lol)

wikispeedruns.com is ridiculously fun and really tickles the same mental areas as crosswords for me
sanguinepar@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I used to do basically this, but with the whole internet, when I was bored at work. I’d try and get from one site to another without using the keyboard and with no copy/paste, etc, just mouse clicks. Killed a lot of time that way 😁
