While Wikipedia is great, that link is more like news “trivia” rather than anything substantially informative.

There is absolutely no value to knowing every single accident, disaster, political incident, etc happening in every country around the world today.

But it does let you decide for yourself which have any importance to you without enticing you with clickbait headlines and images, or pre-filtering for what the particular company's editors or owners want you to see/think you want to see.

And which of these news trivia facts actually have relevance and importance to you?

I’m not supporting clickbait, just debating the value of a list of events with zero context.
