> Conservapedia This is the first time I've heard about it. Is that meant to be a satire website? I can't tell anymore.

  No, it was a fork from like a decade ago. https://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page https://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page It started out crazy but it only got crazier as time went on. The biggest problem with wikipedia competitors, is the only people who tend to put in effort to make one are usually crazy.

    I notice this with a lot of projects/communities. The only people who tend to create change are usually eccentric.

    The page on the Second law of thermodynamics has a chapter on "Liberal abuse of second law of thermodynamics". I wasn't sure if I was reading an imitation of The Onion that tries to take itself too seriously.

      It's founded by the son of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllis_Schlafly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllis_Schlafly, so that brand of crazy is basically vintage. That said, it is indeed so insane that trolls sometimes become contributors just to see how far they can push it. There were several known cases of trolls going far enough undetected to get various admin rights (to block etc).
