.. and lo, countless hours were lost going down the Wikipedia rabbit hole.
- macksd 5y agoThere are much worse ways to lose hours than in Wikipedia. A lot of my general knowledge comes from constantly looking up topics I encounter on Wikipedia. Try a new dish at a restaurant? I look it up. Interesting origin story and nutritional information.
- cpach 5y agoIndeed! I also use it a lot to discover new music. And geography! I hated geography in school. After school my interest in geography has increased sharply. Wikipedia and Google Maps are indispensable for that kind of stuff.
- accraze 5y agoInteresting, can you go into more detail about how you discover new music? I used to use Discogs quite a bit, but I think there is more potential for "discoverability" on Wikipedia in some sense.
