I dated a guy who was big into editing Wikipedia articles on Scientology. PRO TIP: don't date these guys!

(Before anyone asks: he was anti-Scientologist, but in that very "I want to be self-righteous and superior about some 'moral issue' that nobody I want to impress will possibly disagree with me about" way. I'm amazed he didn't wear a Guy Fawkes mask at the keyboard.)

a while ago someone in my extended family put together a family cookbook and you can instantly tell the generation of the submitter by how thorough the recipe is, with my great grandmother's recipes basically what you posted

i made my great aunts pumpkin pie recipe for thanksgiving. one of the steps is "put the crust into a pie plate". there is no step for making the crust. there is nothing in the ingredients list about what goes into the crust. because duh who doesn't know how to make a crust!!

my mom also has some recipes written down that are basically oral history where she went and talked to an older relative and asked questions about how they made a certain thing. because if you just followed the recipe, it wouldn't turn out right at all

As the cock was made of solid gold, the United States Treasury seized it on the grounds that it was illegal under the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 which prohibited private ownership of more than 50 oz (1,400 g) of gold in the United States.[2]

[...]

The cock was then held in a federal bank vault until the case was heard as the judge refused to grant bail to it.[8] Whilst the golden cock was in federal custody, Graves responded to the denial of release by placing a bronze copy of the cock dressed in a striped prison uniform in his casino in the meantime.[3]

Cream cheese is easy to make at home,[12] and many methods and recipes are used. Consistent, reliable, commercial manufacture is more difficult.[13] Normally, protein molecules in milk have a negative surface charge, which keeps milk in a liquid state; the molecules act as surfactants, forming micelles around the particles of fat and keeping them in emulsion. Lactic acid bacteria are added to pasteurized and homogenized milk. During the fermentation around 22 °C (72 °F),[14] the pH of the milk decreases (it becomes more acidic). Amino acids at the surface of the proteins begin losing charge and become neutral, turning the fat micelles from hydrophilic to hydrophobic state and causing the liquid to coagulate. If the bacteria are left in the milk too long, the pH lowers further, the micelles attain a positive charge, and the mixture returns to liquid form. The key, then, is to kill the bacteria by heating the mixture to 52–63 °C (126–145 °F)[citation needed] at the moment the cheese is at the isoelectric point, meaning the state at which half the ionizable surface amino acids of the proteins are positively charged and half are negative.[citation needed]

I made up a fact for a Wikipedia article about a trivial cereal box mascot years ago and it stuck around.
Now there’s tons of clickbait articles that reference it and even one very serious long form

Garden hermits or ornamental hermits were hermits encouraged to live in purpose-built hermitages, follies, grottoes, or rockeries on the estates of wealthy landowners, primarily during the 18th century. Such hermits would be encouraged to dress like druids and remain permanently on site, where they could be fed, cared for, and consulted for advice, or viewed for entertainment.[1]
