      @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.

                                        What are some of your favourite wikipedia articles and why?

                                        I'm looking for some rabbit holes to go scuttling down
