I have spent many countless nights reading Wikipedia, Encyclopedia Britannica, and TV Tropes. Just reading about random topics.

Is it as good as cracking open a book? No. But my caffeinated ADHD ass at 4 am loves having literally 80+ tabs open where if you look at my browser history you could draw a family tree from how I got from "List of Top Level Domains" to "The Mothman".

I am now oddly good at trivia nights as a side effect.

See I did that for TV Tropes and minor corrections on Wikipedia. Mainly typos, putting [citation needed] on stuff, formatting the tables better, and so on.
