Sorry about that. You wanna take a seat? Stay awhile, and listen. 🧙🏼‍♂️

In the before-times, there was no "internet", and most people largely wandered about their lives, astonishingly un full of facts, ironic details, and curious bits of wonder.

Just so, the ones who did carry those snippets of knowledge were often sought out for them, plus their expertise with and comprehension of said notions.

These days, though? Just about anyone can look something up in a heartbeat —provided they have their anti-scam goggles and their bullshit scanner switched on. ☝🏼

Good luck!

  • Might be, sure, but have you tried modifying your search terms to help filter out the ads, snake oil, agitprop, etc.? I find that using above avg reading grade words can be useful, like "scientific", "historical", "controversy", etc. FWIW, this is an extremely useful skill, and your effort will pay off for you, though you may not realize it until it has. 😁
