They use to tell us we couldnt trust Wikipedia. Now we know. Wikipedia is the only website you can trust.
(self.showerthoughts)
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
And sometimes it literally is USA propaganda. It's quite rare, but those articles should get fixed. Changing something like "The guerrilla fighters killed babies" to "The US State Department claimed the guerrilla fighters killed babies, but critics call the claim "wholly unfounded" [source]".
But yea, as I said, actually a lot more rare than you'd think.
tankies be like
"Wikipedia is unreliable, here's our wiki where we source reddit comments"
Yo the tankie wiki is fucking hilarious. The USSR page has this gold mine:
"On 8 August 1945, exactly three months after the defeat of Nazi Germany, Soviet troops entered Manchuria and Korea, and Japan surrendered within a week."
careful! That wiki is managed by the Lemmy Developers, they might BLOCK you
