   Can we just casually talk about how mind boggling #Wikipedia is as a concept nowadays?

   We're living in a world where knowledge and the infrastructure it runs on is aggressively monetized.

   And out here, like a microcosm of the old web, is a wiki that's not run by a profit incentive that has created a repository on human knowledge.

   And it has its own mini-culture based on that community from community awards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Awards
   to injokes.

   In no particular order,
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_climbing_the_Reichstag_dressed_as_Spider-Man
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_bite_the_newbies
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Assume_bad_faith
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Why_not_create_an_account%3F

   And that's ignoring the other super useful projects they maintain, like Wiktionary, which provides a free multilingual dictionary that often includes slang and other terms that wouldn't be in a normal dictionary and, as I'm typing this, my feed shows they're just launching another project.

   Just amazing how this still exists despite how much the internet changed.
