Now I know about Jenn Ashworth, events from January 1966 and Buck Weaver and so much more.

It would be great if there was a way to scroll the article directly, without leaving the site and going to Wikipedia. Like scroll left and right to change article and scroll down to read.

It's just the random button on Wikipedia in a tiktok ui.

Not Adhd food without being less random and actually showing you things you are interested in.

The dev has a hard no stance to adding it though.

I always thought the random button should lead to fascinating things, but it really shows how much of Wikipedia is just random dudes and small towns.

I don't think it shouldn't be that, but I wish there were some filters for random
