The internet is awful 90% of the time, but then you remember that it has open source archives where you can access so much precious knowledge and informations and they're just sitting there for you to use. This is our Alexandria's library and it's greater than the original

sometimes when I'm bored, I go through the list of recent bad faith Wikipedia edits that have since been reverted. a lot of them are politically contentious/offensive topics that attract crazies and trolls in general, but sometimes there are completely innocent inoffensive articles that people attack for no reason. some guy yesterday vandalized the article on the chemical element francium
