This crevice of the internet feels like eavesdropping on a coffee shop dialogue between wizardly scholars who specialize in each of your ultra-specific microhobbies and interests. Create an account, search a topic you’re interested in, find the most satisfyingly specific articles you’ve ever seen—articles you never knew you wanted or needed to read—it’s marvelous and terrific. Academia also sends you email recs about articles it feels you’d take interest in based on previous searches, nine out of ten times of which are spot on.

Kill every “poster” impulse and put info online for no recognition, no reward, no glory. Hunt for kooky stories in news archives and put them on Wikipedia! Replace dead sources with archived links, expand two-sentence stubs about obscure rivers in the middle of nowhere, fix typos!

Some documentaries are so good that they make you want to use all 246 synonyms for “wow” (according to this extensive Wiktionary list). This is one of them. In an hour and thirty-seven minutes (perfect runtime), a 1997 documentary about a bizarre Texas endurance feat will make you laugh, cry, take a shot, and have many epiphanies!
