Wikipedia is the people's encyclopedia, the ultimate homework helper, and the source of many a plagiarizer. But sometimes, its marathon of words is simply too lengthy for today's fleeting attention spans. Enter TL;DR Wikipedia, a hilarious Tumblr dedicated to shrinking down Wiki definitions into highly sarcastic bits.
