For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

What are the units for historical impact?
Fukuyamas

Inverse melanin scale
It searches through wikipedia checking how much each page was accessed and then use algorithms to try to eliminate bias. The book's Wikipedia page explains it.
I thought it was an academic paper but it may just be a book with fun facts.
Incredibly US-centric lol. Not looking at stuff like "how many languages is this article in?" if that's your method is just so silly. Even then it'd be very flawed, but at least marginally better than what is essentially an AP History Heatmap of people
Bit idea: start a Wikipedia edit war on Charlie XCX's page to trick their algorithm into thinking Brat Summer was the most important event in human history.
This is an incredibly dumb way to determine historical impact.
