Mr. Wapojif

In 2008, Google created an ad-powered wiki encyclopedia called Knol, seen as a "Wikipedia killer" amid its highly-publicized launch. And the Wikimedia Foundation gave an unbothered response that I quite like: "the more good free content, the better for the world." Anyway Knol instantly flopped

A mascot with a red body and a white scallop shell around his head is standing on a pavement.

Hotate No Noa is a scallop fairy idol from Yubetsu Town, Hokkaido, who has expert jumprope skills, honed in Hokkaido’s rough ocean waves.

Either that or they’ve just discovered what Beanus is.

I had this recently on my site. Masses of views from China, all of a sudden, and it lasted over a month. Possible bot farm!

if sources don't explicitly call a death "unusual" then wikipedia's self-appointed "list of unusual deaths" police will not have it!!!

Why Wikipedia editors have deleted entries from the “List of unusual deaths”: “hippos are extremely dangerous and very aggressive and there is nothing unusual about hippos killing people” “the man was working on the toilet, making his death inherently less strange than if he had been using it” “no longer an unusual or unique occurrence” regarding impalement by beach umbrella “being hit by multiple motorcycles in a race is not an unusual death” “fatalities involving objects or animals being launched into oncoming traffic are considered commonplace” regarding a Canadian couple’s fatal collision with a “flying bear”

recently discovered that wikipedia volunteers have a hilariously high bar for what constitutes "unusual death"

Got to be Tremors. B movie perfection with a great cast. Graboids. Kevin Bacon’s hair etc. Plus some genuinely funny and uplifting moments (the boulder pole vaulting bit). 🪱

Moral panic In 1907, a Catholic priest in Michigan declared teddy bears to be "horrible monstrosities", which by supplanting the "good old dolls" would cause girls to lose the urge to nurture babies, leading to declining birth rates among the white population and race suicide. The suggestion attracted widespread but short-lived attention.[18]

Do people eat Burger King because Gordon Ramsay was in a commercial, or use shady online casinos and sportsbook gambling websites because of Kevin Hart? It turns out, yes. According to science, celebrity endorsements are generally effective. Yet another reason to vomit.

It’s #wallpaperwednesday and you know what that means: a circa 1906-7 machine-printed sample in the collection of @cooperhewitt.org.web.brid.gy, donated by Dorwin Starr. Not much info about provenance and given the date it probably wasn’t official Halloween cat decor. And yet…🐈‍⬛

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
