      @babe list of cetacean species, cos when there's no photo of the species (usually cos fossil records) it says [cetacean needed].

      List of humourous units of measurement.

          @babe a bit niche, maybe, but I like the multiple sclerosis page as it takes a very complex condition and explains it without dumbing down.

            @catsalad I somehow missed the 'see cat photo' part of your post, looked at the article and assumed it was the cat picture

                          @babe This one, for the photo. I believe it was entirely deliberate. Dunno how much of a rabbit hole it'll lead to, but it's glorious and everyone should see it.

                                @babe first cat to author and co author a physics paper. Largely because someone couldn’t be bothered to change “we” to “I”, and it kind of spiralled from there.
