      Going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole is worse than going down a Street View rabbit hole. Ahh I can spend an entire day doing it!

      You’re right, although if you ever get the chance to browse a real physical encyclopedia, it’s a unique experience.

      Not practical, but it’s a bit like playing a record or playing a game on a real NES. It’s a unique experience.

      I have a full 2007 set of Encyclopedia Brittanica in the same room as my vintage computer collection. I browse it occasionally.
