I can repeat this on my iPhone and it's totally baffling. I searched the complete Wikipedia edit history and the "scrambled egg" phrase is nowhere in there. I have to know how this happened! /cc @depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social @molly.wiki - ThreadSky

Could be pulling from an article linked via wikidata, which would include both wiktionary and articles on the same topic in other languages.

Figured it out! Apple is pulling the Wikipedia data for its Safari suggestions from the Wikidata datastore instead of Wikipedia itself. On December 4, 2019, someone vandalized the Wikidata entry for "A rising tide" to say "a scrambled egg makes all happy" and it stayed there until February 24, 2024.

can't support their actions, but still oddly pleased this vandal has spread their love of scrambled eggs to an audience wider than they could have ever hoped

Enjoy that Molly is one of the best people to tag into this, even though it would mean swinging wildly from documenting project 2025 meta data and presidential crypto grifts to…determining the Apple/wiki connection to scrambled eggs. 😂
