#Wikidata makes me feel that I’m doing nothing with my life…

“It is also worth noticing that as the scope of Wikidata is intended to include the entire world, records can link back in ontologically curious ways: "silent film" (Q226730) is a subclass of "silence" (Q502261), which is in turn a subclass of "nothing" (Q154242).”
