Well now seems like a very good time to set a precedent

I don't think you fully grasp how Wikipedia works and how much work is put into it to keep it up to date and accurate. Maybe you should try changing the meaning on that page and see what happens (although I don't actually condone that kind of behavior).

I could vouch for that specific article, because it words it better than I could. But, it seems you'd rather have a ridiculous argument than have your question answered...

Wikipedia is probably the most trustworthy source around. It can be wrong so you should still verify it if you want to be sure. But, I don't think there's another site with a large amount of knowledge that is so consistently accurate.

What you should have learned from school is that you don't cite it in your papers, because it's not the original source for anything. But, you definitely should be using it for your research and using its citations to go deeper.

Could it be a cleaver use of the Streisand effect? Or am I giving them too much credit?

Sure, but use it constructively. Don't let it hurt your mental health without providing any positive impacts.

A relevant part from the article:

I think local community politics is how you can build a kind of feeling of safety and understanding among a group, like, “Oh, actually, there are concrete things I can do, or we can do, to organize and think about how we challenge the status quo we disagree with.”

I heard about this before and from memory, that's how this started. People were researching why adult teeth weren't growing and were looking for what could make them grow.

What's wrong with sharing Snopes?

I think the 80% number is outdated (although most of the energy is still wasted)

F1 engines achieve a peak thermal efficiency above 50 percent, significantly higher than a modern passenger car's 35 percent thermal efficiency - https://www.motor1.com/news/655596/video-how-f1-engines-make-1000hp/

So more like 65% goes out the tailpipe...

Yeah, but who decides what's an official act? I think that ruling was only ever meant to benefit republicans

Not to mention that the founding fathers would hate what has become of American politics...

Sometimes it's not so easy to fire up a GUI, like when you ssh into another machine.
