Wikipedia

It's like UD, except you use it for school.

Wikipedia used to be a place where everyone could post information, but since a dipshit posted some false information that was really upsetting to someone else, we must all now join, to post a one sentence correction of some word we just happen to stumble upon on their site. Thank you, jackass...

wikipedia

The true source of all knowledge and wisdom on Earth. Just note that where it's inaccurate, it at least *definitively* inaccurate.

Wikipedia gives you more free info than you wished for before you can say "bibliography!"

wikipedo

A short poem, like haiku or a zen koan, that is written using the "random article" feature on Wikipedia. Meant to inspire or provoke a smile, these wry poems should be written, as well as forgotten, as quickly as possible.

wikipedia

Potential source of knowledge ruined by administrators who treat the encyclopedia like a tabletop RPG, penalizing users and IP addresses for what they deem inappropriate behavior.

I keep getting banned from wikipedia because the admins have nothing better to do.

wikiHow

wikiHow is one of the only sites on the Internet where anyone can learn how to do LITERALLY ANYTHING. It’s considered the world's largest how-to manual, and since it’s a wiki website (like Wikipedia), anyone can edit articles. Their community members are sometimes called “knowledge philanthropists” because their goal is to help people learn on every possible subject, and when someone makes an edit, they have people in the community come together to make sure the edits are quality. They also get the experts to review the articles and make sure they’re actually helpful. Because there’s so much information, it can be easy to fall into a rabbit hole. If you’re looking for something that they don’t have, you can put in a request for it to be written.

You can also ask Alexa or Google how to do things, and they’ll usually give you a wikiHow article.

"I have no idea how to change this flat tire."
"How do I lose 10 pounds in time for summer?"
"When can I tell if this pasta is totally cooked?"
"How do I know if I'm registered to vote?"

"Check wikiHow."
