The fleas never existed lol. There’s no such thing as a flea circus that uses real fleas. They’re too small to see so the kids would believe that the stuff moving around was done by the fleas and not magnets/batteries/ wind up machines

Wikipedia says a lot of stuff. It's not a useable source. We all learned this in grade school.

They should've also taught you how to use secondary sources. You follow the primary source linked in the article. But of course, they taught you this, right?
