https://archive.org/search.php?query=encyclopedia%20dramatic... 123 results - and yeah some of them are weird.

Edit: and yeah you can browse it in the Wayback Machine https://web.archive.org/web/20200113163734/https://encyclope... which has more frequent updates, but I don't think they're as thorough which means the inter-page links might go to versions from different dates. The dump files have a better chance of being good snapshots.

I'm serious, whoever downvotes this please let me know why a site laughing about peoples suicides and inciting hatred should take up any disk space in any archive.

Do you enjoy this gruesomely inhumane shit?
