@wikipedia@wikis.world And yet, the Ship of Theseus page remains, thus proving a bird in the hand is worth two stitches in time.

@wikipedia@wikis.world Ah, the curiosities of our time! I doubt previous generations felt the need to ponder such things, let alone had a word for the concept. (Wikipedia didn't even exist before this century.)

@wikipedia@wikis.world How many full replacements though?
-
@not2b@sfba.social 2023-12-16 01:02
@wikipedia@wikis.world I suspect that this was noticed before the article had completely removed all of the original text, motivating editors to look for synonyms that they could use to replace the remaining original words. So it's kind of a Ship of Thesaurus.
