There is SO MUCH information, and with easy links to find out SO MUCH more about everything mentioned.
Current events that are totally ignored in western media because it didn't happen in a western country, and the arguably best 'Did you know?' section in existence. And the elation when you actually already knew one of them is a greater high than any drug.
And there's anniversaries, photos, recent deaths. I like to see it as the Home Page of existence

Always has some fun and very niche facts

It's far too easy for me to burn a few hours digging through Wikipedia hyperlinks and trawling through yards of text. It's a very fun way to gain cursory knowledge about possibly obscure topics, and you can find some pretty bizarre stuff if you know where to look.

hear me out
the wikipedia app has a home screen where you can see what the top articles are in a given day. unlike “trending” algorithms on social media the wikipedia top articles are just straightforwardly about “how many people are pulling up this article” today.
i love this because actually pulling up a wikipedia article to read something is in many ways more significant than just sending a tweet or watching a video or whatever, and as such stats on what wikipedia articles are trending gives a more authentic view of what “the culture” is actually thinking.
sometimes the top articles are straightforward (today it’s rfk jr and kamala harris etc lol), but sometimes it’s a huge curveball, and piecing together the reasons why articles are trending (and sometimes why trending articles that seem unrelated actually are) is always very fun and a much more stimulating way to engage with information than just a straightforward feed. highly recommend

Been using beast mode, tank mode and the like. Coined Trench Mode recently for digging in + persevering to get to the end of something
