it's crazy that wikipedia exists imo!!!!!

like lmao in 2007 it was still just a punchline!!!! but now it's *actually* the only good thing to ever come from the internet?????

like!!! this was a true statement in 2007 and it was meant as a joke, but in 2020 it's still a true statement and it's an asset!!!

i'm sorry i just don't think we take enough time to talk about what a miracle and gift wikipedia is!!!!!! someone pay me to write a love note about wikipedia!!!!!

like they really just said "hey here's the collected sum of all human knowledge and you can have it for free" what!!!!!!!!!!!

and! let's talk about jimmy wales! dude co-founded and is the face of one of the most popular things in history and, by tech-founder standards, chooses to be poor as hell!!!!! he's worth $1 million — million, not billion!!!!!!! https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/feb/07/jimmy-wales-wikipedia-interview

why aren't more people engaging with these tweets like it's almost unfathomable that this thing exists!! and is free! and has no ads! and is incredibly reliant and accurate!

it's FREE y'all!!!! you can read an article on every single thing humans have ever learned and it's literally zero dollars AND you will never see an advertisement!!!!!

how is it not front-page news every day that this thing is real and continues to exist. like tomorrow the top story in every newspaper should just be "Wikipedia Still Exists"

like if the entire internet disappeared and we were left with only wikipedia i would be happy as a clam, it's all we need!!!!!

like does wikipedia stan twitter exist?? how do i get there??? unless ... this IS wiki stan twitter??

like okay all joking aside can you name a single *free and ad-free* thing that you get more use out of??? literally air is the only thing that might be a better value???

things wikipedia does:

• teach you every single thing humans have ever discovered for absolutely free

things wikipedia doesn't do:

• shove noxious ads in your face
• charge literally anything
• steal then sell your data
• cost a damn thing
• be owned by an evil tech bro

BREAKING: all human knowledge is available to you right now this very second and you can read every word of it without having to pay a single penny

lmao it just occurred to me that twitter is the dark, bizarro world wikipedia:

• anyone can say anything on it, but it's *bad*
• you can read about any topic in the world, but it's *bad*
• it's free, but in the *bad* way
