Megalists

A megalist (often called a megapost or a linkdump) is a list of information, but one that is so imposing & complete that it inspires awe at its appearance. Like the monolith in 2001, only even geekier. "Definitive lists" might be a better name.

Inspired by and almost entirely based on An Unofficial Index of MetaFilter Megaposts by not_the_water, February 7, 2018.
