The TL;DR Wikipedia is a glossary for the ultra-lazy

Here’s a brilliant new Tumblr that’s way too funny not to be the work of a professional: TL;DR Wikipedia, which makes fake, abbreviated Wikipedia entries that even the laziest reader has time to process.

The Tumblr’s card-like entries are similar to the cards used by explanatory journalism start-up Vox, albeit way less sophisticated. It’s less of a parody of Wikipedia and more of a joke on the trend towards providing super-short breakdowns of big topics.

TL;DR Wikipedia started in March, and it doesn’t look like it’ll run out of steam anytime soon. The Tumblr now accepts user submissions, so if you have a pithy, snarky definition, send it in.
