“The first law of thermodynamics is you don’t talk about thermodynamics”. Lol that’s brilliant.
That really is the first law of renewable energy .
that's as funny as engineers get
My favorite Wikipedia edit of all time was when Tim Howard, the USA men's national soccer team, broke the US record for saves in a game. His page was edited to say that he was the US Secretary of Defense! 😂😂
Thats Reggie White
@@robbielewis4740 I know he played football, and perhaps that was his nickname. I'm talking about Tim Howard, the old keeper for the US Men's National soccer team...
It was a joke
@@robbielewis4740 Reggie White was the "Minister of Defense" 😅
Seeing America's Soccer team has the most shots fired towards it, Many saves will happen. Just no upshot here
"A microwave is the head chef at Olive Garden" remains my favorite one
There was one for a soccer player with the last name Lasagna and the entry said he has many layers to his playing
Years ago there was an advertisement for an Australian ISP, which featured a father covering his ignorance making up a bunch of stuff about the Great Wall of China when his young son had a school report on it. Key was that the Great Wall was built by Emporer Nasi Goreng to keep out rabbits (which are a feral pest in Australia) and had the line "Too many rabbits in China". The Wikipedia page for the Great Wall was edited so many time with this false factoid that it got locked for a while and many non-Australian editors were completely flummoxed by the oddly specific and often repeated vandalism.
I recall once in college arguing with a classmate about using Wiki for anything other than a good starting point in research. She said it was a trustworthy source. Our topic was the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). The Wiki page had it as the Stop Online Privacy Act.
It’s great when you all get the uncontrollable giggles.
They once edited the president of Turkey's page to show a roach with a turkish "desk" (flag on some cardboard).
it took maybe a day or 2 to fix.
Every previous version of every Wikipedia page is avaialble by clicking on view history at the top of the page. (a few versions are hidden from view because they contain -personal info, but you are unlikely to run into that). Way better than the wayback machine.
When I was in high school we had encyclopedias.
Britannica & others have been online for ages. Even Reader's Digest is a great resource for research. They've all evolved wonderfully with vetted current world news & blogs.
I'm perplexed as to why Wiki occupies such a prominent position when the others perform significantly better and are strictly moderated.
I use brittania, too.
@@Meisha-sanbecause Wikipedia covers more topics maybe?
@@NiennaFan1 Wiki is the youngest of the online resources & has by far the smallest databank.
It's the pay wall. Wiki is free & is much more accessible than the very academically laid out Brittanica & others.
Also, like with the online newspapers, these pay wall publications badger visitors with those subscription pop-ups. Looking things up on Wiki is just easier & not as annoying as when you don't have a sub for Brittanica.
We have in Brazil a satyric version of wikipedia, called desciclopedia (something like uncyclopedia)
I had to look up Missouri once for a video I was doing, and I could've sworn the state was too big on the map. Good to know I wasn't just hallucinating
I like how the state language is listed as "Missourian"
No matter how horrible things get, I am always so glad to see that there are still people with sharp minds and wonderful senses of humor. Thank you everyone.
These are the same people who claim that memes are not funny, yet they are laughing and saying "that's really good" or "that's really funny" to Charlie Sheen, Mariah Carey, Janis Joplin, Sarah Silverman, The Sherlocks, Paul Ryan, and Snakes.
Those were only funny if they were smoking or drinking something before the show. The fact that they are laughing out loud at some of these is telling. SMH
There were a few funny ones here, but the vast majority were lame.
If snakes as long frog tubes is the sign of a sharp mind and a wonderful sense of humor, our society is sad.
@@darlenesmith5690maybe you aren't smart enough to have a good sense of humor. I bet you're great fun at a party.
I believe that at one time the example given under Genetic Screen involved introducing a mutagen into a population of turtles, then successively selecting for individuals that showed ninja traits.
"When I was in high school, we always used to look up weird stuff on Wikipedia..." :::cries in 90s graduate::: Thanks. You made me feel ancient with that one phrase. 🤣 When I was in high school, we were technologically advanced if we were using MS Encarta. Wikipedia wasn't even a thing yet. 😭😭😭
Encarta...holy shiz, there's something I haven't heard in awhile. I admit being a user of Encarta.
I've read a few science-themed books that made references to Wikipedia articles. I have a feeling those books won't age well.
Kudos to my 14 yr old grandson who told me uh, 5 years ago that his Dad discredited Wikipedia as utterly unreliable.
Whenever I see someone on the internet site Wikipedia as their "source". I immediately doubt whatever they're saying.
@@Threedog1963 Wikipedia is a good source
Kevin Conroy was a live action Batman once unfortunately. He was on Batwoman and they made him evil only to have Batwoman kill him and be set up as the best ever. Rip the best Batman you deserved better.
“An ocelot is a rare turnip grown on pine trees in the Mediterranean Sea. The turnip taste like charcoal and has the consistency of a rock. The ocelot is most commonly known for its use as toilet paper.”
When middle age men are laughing about using Wikipedia in high school, and I didn't have internet in high school. 😣
I had books. A computer was something in a movie.
FYI: I've been a software engineer for over 30 years. 😂
I can handle the mountain breeze
I have received Board Panda's highest honor. I have been banned from commenting on their website.
Bored Panda?
@@frzstat A website Kyle mentioned during the podcast.
I edited stuff before that was inaccurate; original author immediately changed back.
Yeah I've done that too. Kinda spoils the illusion doesn't it.
Sarah Silverman the photo is of a frog croaking so i assume it means she croaked at the DNC convention .
Someone recently changed the Babylon Bee WIkipedia page to say, "It has been referred to as a Christian, evangelical, or conservative version of The Onion. Except unlike The Onion the Babylon Bee is awesome."
Oh you sweet blessed child. Good on you for not knowing Kevin Conroy did play a life action version of batman on the batgirl TV series. It was an uncomfortably disrespectful version of batman.
Oh, the silliness, the hubris, the inanity, the disrespect. This crazy, nutty display of riotous disregard of decorum must NEVER stop. Keep it coming; we need it like life supporting medicine. Come to think of it, it might be just that!
The Janis Joplin post was part of a joke in 30 Rock.
Nice one on thermodynamics. I totally aced all the tests in college. Then I intentionally forgot all of it, like nearly all of my college classes, since I know I'll need 0% of that information in my brain.
Hmm. I didn't go to high school at all ( long story, but my education was basically only about up to an 8th grade level), but learned the basics of the laws of thermodynamics by my 20s, and it's actually very helpful. It is evidence for Creation and against Darwin's theory of evolution, for one, and knowing them at least helps one understand scientific publications, discourses. Understand and weigh the evidences presented. My husband uses the knowledge of chemistry from high school all the time, at work and home, as he's a Deisel vehicle technician and all around mechanic with a lot of experience and knowledge with AC systems and electrical as well, and it can also come in handy in just about other typically guy area of interest. For example, at work, he knows what chemicals react in what way with others or with temperature or whatever, and can use that information in his approach or decisions. He is always running into kids ( young men) who are stumped, or about to do something dangerous, or who aren't able to figure out a much easier or better solution than what they're doing with a problem, due to their ignorance or thoughtlessness ( and granted, some inexperience plays into that too). I have a terrible memory for this kinda stuff and am on a lot of antihistamines currently so one I almost just had, slipped my mind right away, but his knowledge of this stuff, often just basic high school stuff, has been super interesting, helpful or neat at times.
@@ajb.822 Where can I get what you are on?
I take this as an invite to edit the ᗺB page
I too, can handle the Mountain Breeze!
My favorite Wiki edit is about the actual Viking, Ivor the Boneless, all of a sudden it is now basically the script from the TV show Vikings. All the real info is gone, all these actual vikings are now Ragnor's sons despite the fact that they weren't alive at the same time. I had to laugh. I've seen dozens more changes but this one cracked me up the most.
Y’all should do these kind of shows as a series called Babylon Beevis and Butthead.
There is a Rock musician with the same name as my son's. In middle school my son would edit the page and put in his grades and sports stats.
Didn't realize Ewan McGregor hung out with the Bee people
I wish I could remember the specifics: a few years back, some lefty news outlet published a story with some absurd claim (as if that ever happens), and Ted Cruz tweeted the perfect comeback. Someone edited their Wiki page to say they were a newspaper owned by Ted Cruz 🤣
Emma looks somehow different. It's not the glasses though......I got it! She shaved off the beard & 'stash! 😂
Search Wikipedia edits and the first video, by spoon, is this list in the exact order. Great job, we are so proud
Kevin conroy was actually a live action Batman on the tv show gotham
Actually, Kevin Conroy did appear in live action, on the WB, during Crisis on Infinite Earths, as Bruce Wayne, in Wayne Manor, with the suit present, but he didn’t wear it. On that earth, Batman had killed Superman, but was crippled in the fight, and needed a powered exoskeleton to walk. He actually tried to kill Supergirl with kryptonite, and talked about how he’d lost count of how many people he’d killed.
So, it was totally unlike the DCAU Batman that he brought to life, and which was the best Batman, of all time.
I know a guy (lol) who edited some page for some technical thing, and changed all the "design" to "evolution".
This needs to bee a new weekly segment!
Joe Lycett changing his name to Hugo Boss to fuck with them was great
1:11 As someone who edits Wikipedia, This is something that can easily happen.
Edit: Wikipedia has it's own wayback machine of sorts so you probably could find it if you looked hard enough.
Firesigns first law of motion, if you push something hard enough it will fall over!
I always have to check in for my moment of truth, or is that a moment of fiction, well I don't know.
I just don't get wearing baseball caps backwards
One time, the class above me got our high school banned from Wikipedia because they made a fake religion called the “Larsonites” centered around the author of our calculus textbooks Ron Larson. He was the god figure and the Bible was the textbook, it was horrible but also INCREDIBLY hilarious.
Every IP address associated with the school was banned for 10 years from editing Wikipedia.
Edit, more info: it got so bad because they had also set up some kind of pilgrimage system to his house as part of the holiness of “larsony” that Wikipedia became concerned for his safety and banned ye IP addresses.
Kevin was, in fact, on screen as Batman once. One of the TV shows, the multiverse ones. Batwoman maybe? He was an older, very grumpy, Bruce Wayne.
Poker cards
"These cards suck"
😂😂😂😂
Runners experience diarrhea. I think the body stops excepting water and it runs straight out.
These are pretty funny!!:-)))
And this is why you shouldn't trust in Wikipedia as a source of information!
"The first law of thermodynamics is that you do NOT talk about thermodynamics"
I mean it's a pretty good rule for first dates. Do not talk about thermodynamics on a first date.
The Female Transformers page, it was taken down after that main editor guy found it but it was foul. It was suppose to be up for over five years and a college project. I don't think youtube would allow you to read it without a constant beep. And there are no female Transformers.
Actually there are female Autobots.
@@trisk_7398 Not at the time the article was published and it's mainly about calling them foul names
The wiki page for steven Segall horrible music "mojo priest" i believe is messed with to this day.
0:43 not true he was in an episode of Batwoman as a live action Batman
Batwoman doesn't exist. Batwoman was just a bad dream.
@@HartyBiker Correct. Not canon.
I laughed until I cried
THERMODYNAICS comment, I am sure, is based on the Tao: the Tao you can talk about is not the real Tao.
Kevin did play batman on a cw show for 1 episode
Why no publisher ever lets writers use Wikipedia as a source.
i love editing wkipedia
I used to edit Wikipedia pages. Then they banned me. Fun.
I edited the Reggie Miller page to say he won an NBA championship!
0:46 WRONG . He did appear on camera as Batman . I am told he was on the canceled "Batwoman" series as Batman . Yes , he was "only" the voice of Batman . SO ?
Do you think the Janis Joplin "speedwalking everywhere" just might have a bit to do with a slight drug addiction?
Mountain breeze
Inflation. Companies hate consumers. Because they need you to stop spending.
Are you hiring? Not a joke.
That thermodynamics one is hilarious and sad...because they're genuinely trying to erase/disprove thermodynamics because it is fatphobic. LOL!
Oohh, I hope I win.
Baby lawn bee discriminates against Texas. Eat donkey counts (minus o)
I always liked the joke along time ago when someone typed into Google, “A white man stole my car”. Then Google responded back, “No results, Did you mean, a Black man stole my car?”
Turns out it was a fake post, but funny nevertheless.
Whooo!
Guys this was honestly hilarious 😂 I'm dying
Hoizer favorite hoizer
I think we have been invaded. The sense of humor seems alien to me. Can we go back to the "Moving to Texas from California" skits? Now they were funny.
🤨
😆
🤣✌️
These are funny. What I do-and you can steal this idea-is look up political pages, or pages in Christianity and look for blatant propaganda and their references. You can also look up dictionary words and terms and see how they have been altered recently for political reasons(eg the word “reactionary”). There are plenty of examples of “New Speak” to be found.
Yes, thanks !!!! I hate that. Like, if u don't want to be a Christian, fine, but at least get it accurate, and state facts without spin, condescension, lies, etc. !
@@ajb.822 they have to lie. Jesus is the truth, the only counter they have is to lie. They’ll never “play fair” because they would lose.
Like MGTOW. And the editors were even having debates about it.
@@the_SolLoser I don’t know what that is
@@Drakemiser Men Going Their Own Way.
I like the stealth edits of the Wiki page for “fascism”. In 2016/2017, some mad lad changed the definition so that it exclusively applied to the right, and he linked to a definition of “authoritarian” which assumes that any authoritarian is also “right”. It’s still there!! Hilarious entry.
I remember making edits to the statistics of a football player for my local team as it hadn't been updated for some time and I got banned. Although when I put than hank azaria who voiced apu I added he done voice work for gta iv just because I heard a voice that sounded like apu and thats sonehow still there. Wikipedia is a shit show.
I mean football and not soccer because im english.
Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days.
This must be an investment with Salvador marshall
I countlessly share my experience with co-workers at work, on how I made $23,000 from $2,000 in 7 days of trading
The crypto market is highly profitable with an expert broker just like Salvador Marshall I got recommended to him and since then my financial life has been a success.
I'm a long term investor. I withdrew my profits of over £56,000 during the covid-19 pandemic
@Salvador40
A contextually specific one: after the Seattle Sounders were eliminated from the MLS playoffs two years in a row by a goal from Diaron Asprilla of the Portland Timbers, someone edited the Seattle Sounders page to list Asprilla as the owner of the Seattle Sounders football club.
He was on camera as Batman, but in the stupid CW crossover crap so I wouldn’t count it. Plus they killed him in it too so pretty lame
The men in this video sit like the woman in this video
If you're intereted, the Mountain Breeze edit is en.wikipedia.org_w_index.php?title=Mountain_Breeze&oldid=47276064. Replace _ with /.
Daniel Toshiba encouraged his audience to edit the Tosh.O page. The best was: Tosh.O- pronounced : smegma
