Pick any Wikipedia article.
Click the first link.
Keep clicking the first link.
Eventually you’ll end up at Philosophy and forever be in a loop going back to Philosophy.
Turns out conscious thinking and applying logical rigor is the basis for everything we perceive.
wouldn’t count that stuff in the parenthesis, as it’s just showing the translation of “japonic lanuages” and then the transliteration of that translation. Sometimes they’ll have pronunciation or whatever in parentheses, and that shouldn’t count for the same reason.
If instead of clicking on “japanese” again, you had clicked on “language family”, you’d get all the way to philosophy in 8 or 9 clicks (i lost count and i’m too lazy to fix it).
Here’s a fun game:

I found an exception:
Starting from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English: Help:IPA/English > Alphabet > Letter (alphabet) > Symbol > Sign (semiotics) > Semiotics > Help:IPA/English
If you don’t think the IPA link counts as “the first link”, then
Starting from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_language: Japanese language > Japonic languages > Japanese language
will also cause a loop.
The Help: namespace is not articles tho.
If you don’t count link that leads to help, then Japanese language will lead to a loop of only 2 clicks.
See the original post.
Excellent! Well played.

Apparently, there is a wikipedia article about this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Getting_to_Philosophy
I really wish this article wouldn’t link to philosophy, but it does…
Started off at the page for Ham, and yep, it ended up on philosophy.
If this is true, then every wikipedia page will eventually lead to wikipedia of Greek, because the philosophy page leads to greek.
Hence, Greek best country confirmed by wikipedia?!
