Stop making me wither into a shriveled husk, when I was in 5th grade my school had literally just the year before converted the library from a notecard system to a computer search system for books. 😭

I don't know why I'm surprised that's such a big fraction
Probably not needed, but just to be sure... the entire graphic is satire and all statistics it shows are made up :)
Who's that fella on the left?
They are from an illustration of how big wikipedia would be if it were printed in books like volumes of a typical encyclopedia. Unfortunately, it is misrepresented here, because they only show the equivalent of 4 bookshelves in this meme, when the original illustration was 17 shelves (about 4x what is pictured here). So basically, wikipedia would comfortably line the walls of an average-sized study. Source: WIKIPEDIA - Size in Volumes
Interestingly, the link I just shared would fall under the category "Lording it over Britannica" in OP's meme.
Whoa that's super cool!
That’s still comprehensible. I would’ve thought Wikipedia was bigger.
