Highlights
editI don't mean to brag, but by that, I mean... I completely mean to brag!
- Late 2020: I expand the List of children's animated television series. Afterwards, another editor comes along and expands it even further, causing the list article to become so long that it gets split by decade.
- Q2 2022: I expand the table in the Future section of Detailed logarithmic timeline.
- March 23, 2023: I create Template:Roman months and put it beneath each article for, well, the Roman months.
- December 25, 2023: The draft for The Scale of the Universe is accepted within hours of my first submission.
- February 26, 2024: Before it could be reviewed a second time, I decide to take back my second submission and move the draft for Nickelodeon and LGBT representation into the mainspace myself.
- April 18, 2024: I create the disambiguation page Thermal Maximum.
Best questions and answers at the reference desk
edit- March 2021: In one episode of the Animaniacs reboot, Yakko says "Croik misseur! Croik misseur! Croiks of all kinds!". What does he mean by "croik misseur"?
- He may have been referring to a dish called croque monsieur.
- May 2021: Why is the Babylon allegory from the Book of Revelation called the 5-letter W word that rhymes with chore?
- That word is a translation of the Greek word πόρνη (pornē) which means prostitute. It was also a figure of speech for an idolatress, and in the context of Revelation, Babylon is used as an allegory for Rome, which was considered the chief seat of idolatry.
- August 2021: How far back has something along the lines of "better forgiveness than permission" been said?
- The phrase "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission." was popularized by Grace Hopper, though it goes at least as far back as 1846 with an unclear reference to Francesco Barberini.
- December 2022: Each of the "games for you from the web" featured on Windows 10's Start menu had an infinity symbol with 5 colors on its thumbnail. What was that about?
- That is the logo of FRVR, a marketing-focused games company.
- January 2023: What does I like your cut g mean?
- Cut means haircut and g is short for gangster, though this particular phrase could be a variation of the older saying "I like the cut of your jib".
- April 2023: What's with the extremely long YouTube comments that start off with something like "I'm currently crying so hard right now"?
- Each comment of this sort may have have been the work of a bot or program.
- June 2023: My mouse sometimes treats one click as a double-click. As it turns out, my mouse button occasionally fails to hold for split-seconds unless I press down on it hard. Why does it act this way?
- This is often caused by dirt getting in the way of the actuator. If it bothers you, you may as well buy a new mouse or, if you use Windows, try something called AutoHotkey.
- P.S. When the mouse I use has this problem, I sometimes end up in an edit conflict with myself where it tells me that I'm trying to revert the edit I just made. On the other hand, this problem with holding clicks can be useful for grinding games (e.g. Cookie Clicker) where I would have to click the same thing over and over again, in which cases I would attempt to gently hold the button so I could effectively play a game more quietly.
- September 2023: What does chille tid mean?
- Chilletid is a Danish and Norwegian Bokmål word that roughly translates to "chilling time". It's also a play on the phrase "chill a tad".
- November 2023: What is this "I know what you want girl" song that is used in those unoriginal world flag map videos with VHS-like effects?
- "all i want is you" by Rebzyyx
- November 2023: What does fanum tax mean?
- Fanum is a Twitch streamer who refers to the food he takes from others as his "tax", hence the phrase.
- March 2024: What would lead someone to say e.g. "I am living in Paris since 1992" when they're supposed to say "I have lived in Paris since 1992"?
- That misuse of the word since is reminiscent of how someone in Continental Europe might phrase their sentences. For example, "I live in Paris since four years" is a way to mistranslate the French phrase "J'habite à Paris depuis quatre ans".
Unique jerryfoolery for April Fools

2023
editAt the Science reference desk, I asked for the abbreviation to the provisional name of a hypothetical element of atomic number 717 and got the answer I expected.
2024
editIn an effort to attempt to outdo myself, I started a joke RfC at the talk page for the lightbulb essay. However, a bunch of AfD ideas would come to me throughout the day, leading me to pretend to nominate these pages:
- Anyone who imagines the sun setting on the Empire is presumed to be a member of the rebel alliance and a traitor. In the event that the emperor starts training the constables to read minds and starts levying taxes on tinfoil and Faraday cage-like headgear, His Highnesty's subjects may have to learn to censor their mind's eye in order to avoid being caught.
- Objection I mean Keep: Articles aren't deleted because an editor declares them "exempt from inclusion" nor can anyone override consensus. This nomination is a blatant attempt at wikilawyering.

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of cuteness. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dinosauredit
Many of these Mesozoic monsters used to live in warm, moist climates, but now their eggs stinked, so they don't rule the Earth anymore. It's not the eggs' fault though; a warm, moist climate would have that effect on anybody. Unfortunately, as the indoor shower wouldn't be invented for another 64 million years or so, the average smellysaurus had to pray for one outside and hope it doesn't receive the wrong kind as part of some divine judgment upon Pangea for provoking the wrath of the dino gods, in which case some of the Chief Elders would be swayed to revise the Journal of Economic Finger-Pointing to blame the act of God on the erosion of traditional mating customs egged on by opponents to the war against the four-leggers. – Howard Handupme (talk) 1 April 63,999,975 BC Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fallout 3edit

Basic informationeditGeorge III (talk · contribs) was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 25 October 1760 until his death in 1820. The Acts of Union 1800 unified Great Britain and Ireland into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, with George as its king. He was concurrently Duke and Prince-elector of Hanover in the Holy Roman Empire before becoming King of Hanover on 12 October 1814. He was a monarch of the House of Hanover, who, unlike his two predecessors, was born in Great Britain, spoke English as his first language, and never visited Hanover. Such had been the patient sufferance of the Thirteen Colonies, and such had been the necessity which constrained them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the former king of Great Britain was a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. Targeted areas, pages, themeseditHe has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:
Habitual behavioredit
CaseseditOther noteseditWhen in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume—among the powers of the earth—the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and its god entitle them, a decent respect to human opinion requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident:
Indeed, prudence will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes. Accordingly, all experience has shown that people are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right and duty to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security. |

Article prose with multiple meanings I thought would be funny
edit- Air Force One photo op incident:
- Although the planes were engaged in a photo op and training exercise, the citizens of New York and New Jersey had not been informed in advance; some thought it could be the makings of a terrorist attack similar to the September 11 attacks. Some people ran out of buildings while others had extra buildings to spare. When all the buildings were used up, new ones had to be built to meet demand.
- Alliance Defending Freedom#International anti-abortion work:
- In Sweden, a midwife, Ellinor Grimmark, sued the province of Jönköping for discrimination because she was refused employment when, citing "freedom of conscience", she refused to give morning-after pills, perform abortions, or put in copper IUDs. She lost both her hearing before the Discrimination Ombudsman, and at the Jönköping district court, prompting her to get a hearing aid and a sign language interpreter.
- Santa Claus#Tracking: The Christmas issue of NOAA's Weather Bureau Topics with "Santa Claus" streaking across a weather radar screen, 1958
- I find it unbelievable that Santa would do such a thing, especially during the winter. Even if all the children are asleep, he should at least put some pants on before he gets on his sleigh, and definitely before going down any chimney. I know the baby Jesus is sometimes shown in his birthday suit, but that doesn't justify such naughty behavior. On the other hand, that would explain why Santa prefers to let kids see him at the mall rather than at their homes on the night before Christmas.
Wacky facts I've found
edit- Ganesha in world religions:
- He is honoured with Motaka, sweets and fruit, when business is good, and he is made ridiculous by putting his picture or statue upside down, when business is down.
- Maji Maji Rebellion:
- A spirit medium named Kinjikitile Ngwale, who practiced folk Islam that incorporated animist beliefs, claimed to be possessed by a snake spirit called Hongo. Ngwale began calling himself Bokero and developed a belief that the people of East Africa had been called upon to eliminate the Germans. German anthropologists recorded that he gave his followers war medicine that would turn German bullets into water. This "war medicine" was in fact water (maji in Kiswahili) mixed with castor oil and millet seeds. Empowered with this new liquid, Bokero's followers began what would become known as the Maji Maji Rebellion.
- ...
- German troops, armed with machine guns, departed from Mahenge to the Ngoni camp, which they attacked on 21 October. The Ngoni soldiers retreated, throwing away their bottles of war medicine and crying, "The maji is a lie!"

- Not to be dissuaded, Abbie Hoffman vowed to levitate the Pentagon claiming he would attempt to use psychic energy to levitate the Pentagon until it would turn orange and begin to vibrate, at which time the war in Vietnam would end.
- Ryūjin:
- One legend involving Ryūjin is the story about how the jellyfish lost its bones. According to this story, Ryūjin wanted to eat monkey's liver (in some versions of the story, to heal an incurable rash), and sent the jellyfish to get him a monkey. The monkey managed to sneak away from the jellyfish by telling him that he had put his liver in a jar in the forest and offered to go and get it. As the jellyfish came back and told Ryūjin what had happened, Ryūjin became so angry that he beat the jellyfish until its bones were crushed.
