The flatworms "fence" using extendable two-headed dagger-like stylets. These stylets are pointed (and in some species hooked) in order to pierce their mate's epidermis...

I hope asking a question about Wikipedia is not against the rules, couldn't find nor confirmation nor contrary in the sidebar.

I have a PocketBook reader that doesn't support Kiwix. Would need an EPub or another primitive text format. I know a tool to save an archive on epub exists, but no already packed thing with a top 50000/100000 collection.

Been opening packs for a few months now, I've managed to pull some real bangers.

John le Fucker was an Englishman mentioned in an administrative record of 1278. His distinctive byname has been proposed by some scholars as the first written record of a variant of the English swear word fuck.

According to an entry in the Close Rolls of the chancery of Edward I for 26 April 1278, John le Fucker was imprisoned for a double murder and seeking bail. As published in 1900 in summary calendar form, the entry reads:

John le Fucker of Tythinge, imprisoned at Peterborough for the death of Walter de Leyghton and William de Leyghton, wherewith he is charged, has letters to the sheriff of Northampton to bail him.

Happy cake day to me. Fuck Spez.

On 14 May 2026, an epidemic of Ebola was reported in the Ituri Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). It is the 17th Ebola outbreak in the DRC and began only five months after the end of the previous outbreak. <…> An imported case from the DRC was also reported in France.

P.S. I wonder if we, like the Reddit counterpart, allow asking questions about Wikipedia itself here. I have a PocketBook device that doesn't support Kiwix. Is it possible to convert entire Kiwix archive file to EPUB?

On July 13, 2026, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a 26-year-old Colombian national was shot and killed by a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Biddeford, Maine, United States.[2][3][4]

Oware is an abstract strategy game among the mancala family of board games (pit and pebble games) played worldwide with slight variations as to the layout of the game, number of players and strategy of play.[1] Its origin is uncertain,[2] but it is widely believed to be of Ashanti origin.[3]

I make the case that Wikipedia communities often do not live up to their intent to be inclusive in internal policy-making; that our policies are more conservative than we realize; and that a large part of the reason is structural – the twenty-year-old format we use to make decisions is quietly working against us. Our processes have been designed with an abundance of time in mind, in an era of exponential growth. That time is over. The good news, which I'll come back to in a companion post, is that there are tangible ways to make these processes better.
