Wiki-Dose - Lemmy.zip
lemmy.zip
A community dedicated to “Microdosing Wikipedia”. Post random articles of any topic here and people can discuss what they’ve learned! Rules: 1. Posts must only contain wiki links (Doesn’t have to actually be Wikipedia specifically but they must be a wiki). 2. Point title must match article title. Description can be anything you want. 3. Be Civil. This community is for learning cool/fun things, not for arguments.

I’ve previously seen people describe dating a person with ADHD as “Microdosing Wikipedia” and I thought that was a fun idea so I figured I would make a community dedicated to that specifically.

The idea is to post either random or interesting articles you find on any wiki (Doesn’t actually have to be wikipedia so a games/fandoms wiki would also be included) and people can discuss the content or the subject of the article.

It’s just a small space for people to learn about stuff that they have no reason to learn about otherwise.

    I suppose I’m coming from being 12 and seeing very reposted images with text about “I hate small talk, can’t we talk about something meaningful” on tumblr and Instagram, and from when I did still follow ADHD and autism communities on the internet, and when I browsed Reddit in general, and saw rants about small talk… used to seeing the word “hate” in conjunction with it. Sorry.

    I also agree, different strokes for different folks :) It’s okay to not enjoy small talk, and it is also okay for me to enjoy it.

        I inaccurately assumed the way I expressed myself would be interpreted as “when I was 12, I saw images that were reposted frequently on Instagram that contained text attesting to hating small talk,” and did not have it in my mind as a possibility that my comment would be taken as a statement on my current age. I made an inaccurate assumption. I am currently over 21.

        Although when I was 12, although I didn’t talk about my age or lie about it in text discussions I did still use websites that were only allowed to be used by those 13 and up, or those 18 and up. I typed very similarly to the way I do now. For all you know I am a filthy liar and actually just a 12-year old with a good grasp of English, attempting to seem more credible (and evade any possible TOS violations and account bans) by telling you I am over 21 years old ;)
