This remind me of time where people would challenge people to start at random wiki page to find page to certain page using just links through pages with least clicks.

YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.

https://wikispeedruns.com/ is ridiculously fun and really tickles the same mental areas as crosswords for me
I used to do basically this, but with the whole internet, when I was bored at work. I'd try and get from one site to another without using the keyboard and with no copy/paste, etc, just mouse clicks. Killed a lot of time that way 😁
Next step AI generated videos based off the articles, with that annoying influencer voice.
You mean https://pdftobrainrot.org/?
Kinda, but the video would be AI generated and relevant
That's a wildly better idea
I would like to hijack this wonderful thread to say you too should read about Fred Hampton. Every US citizen should. He was a black activist assassinated by the police and FBI for trying to unite several oppressed groups. They had an associate drug him and then shot him in his sleep.
So, the next recommended-video after 'Trapped on Wikipedia' was very interesting.
A description of the topology, zones, and interconnectedness of Wikipedia and its articles.
What a banger
This is amazing, gonna send it to my friends!
No I shouldn't know this. It's dangerous
Can someone ELI5 what an additive site is?
Addictive... will correct.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, yeah that makes more sense. Thanks!
When you grow up and should know better, sometimes you can still make mistakes, like the person who is OP. What OP tried to say was "addictive", but due to lack of education or (more likely) care this question was born.
Yeah I just didn't proof read and posted from my phone.
Love this! Any idea if it algorithms the posts based on time spent or some other metrics?
I think the algorithm comes from the Math.Random library.
This is awesome. Thanks a lot!
Is there something in the App Store?
Just use your browser to make it an app. You won't know the difference.
No, but someone should make an app for it... Probably could make a bit of money.
Nice!
I love this, but is anyone else having trouble with the css/text? Chrome seems to dim the images, but the white text is unreadable on all the images for firefox. Doesn't work on Safari at all.
I use Firefox and it reads fine for me.
It will remain a mystery
A rabbit hole worthy of a deep dive.
(Just lost 15 minutes checking it out. Gonna have to watch that. Lol)
Why did you just make another addictive site and celebrate it? I dont want infinite scroll anywhere
I don't make this, but I think it's better to scroll reality than social media.
WE KNOW IT WAS YOU, MOLLY 0xFFF
