Had this thought the other day and tbh it's horrifying to think about the implications of one, or God forbid all, of them going down.
Stackoverflow too but that only applies to nerds haha

You can’t rely on YouTube videos staying up over time.

Better download what you want might want to look up again

Can't count on the library of Alexandria staying up over time either

I think we also overestimate the valve if what would have been at Alexandria.

Considering everything would have been hand copied/transcribed back then, and his expensive that would have been, the selection bias would be massive.

I doubt it could compare to Wikipedia.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
