Wikipedia: Unusual Articles: what it is & sites like it

Wikipedia's Unusual Articles page is a volunteer-curated list of the encyclopedia's stranger entries, sorted by theme. It collects articles that are unusual, funny or bizarre, with a short description of each.

It is the best way to start a Wikipedia rabbit hole. Pick a category, click something that sounds absurd, and follow the links. It is also a reminder of how odd the real world is, since every entry here is meant to be a real article.

A content note: some linked articles cover mature topics, as an encyclopedia would, though the list itself is safe for work. It works on phones and desktops. Related: /site/weird-universe, /category/internet-culture and /category/useless. Plan on plenty of time, since it is a genuine rabbit hole. We have not confirmed how well it works on phones.

Tips for getting the most out of it

Pick a theme and go.
Follow links from one article to the next.
