We used to play a drinking game in our dorm called Wikipedia in 30 seconds. Someone would pick a specific topic/article and you had to get there using only links and random article, in 30 seconds.
If you failed you had to drink. If you succeeded, everyone else had to drink. I once succeeded to get to Ghadaffi by starting at breast cancer.
We played on a projector while blasting funky mid 2000s tunes.
If you like the Wikipedia rabbit hole, check out the Wiki game on your given app store. The basic idea is that you have two separate topics, and you have try to link to the second from the first in as few clicks and time as possible. It’s actually quite fun and you end up reading about some really random stuff.
RIP John Dunsworth. You were the liquor.
Just another little linky-poo
I’m extremely prone to this. On several occasions, I’ve looked up a word using kindles built in library, then see an interesting related word, then I see an unfamiliar word on the same page, then there’s a link about pronunciation, before, finally, I think to myself “Motherfucker, have you been reading the dictionary for an hour?”
I was just gifted a dictionary of etymology. The Barnhart one. I might be leading you down a dark path here, but you may want to consider adding it to your word-lookup routine if you’re having fun with what you’re doing already.
