Great article. I think there’s a lot of day-to-day things that we just bumble through in our lives, applying the algorithm of “deal with it the way I dealt with it the very first time I thought about it”. But a 2-minute Google crawl can improve your algorithm immensely. 3 examples that I Googled after reading this article:
Can you eat the leaves on a strawberry? I’d habitually plucked and thrown them away my whole life, but Google says that I can just eat the whole berry!
Should you pop a zit? I’d always done so assuming it would speed up getting over the zit, but Google says letting it heal naturally is overall faster
What’s the correct way of wiping poop? I’d barely ever thought about this daily behavior, doing probably the same motion I’ve done since I was a kid (“fold 3 sheets, wipe once, throw away”), but Google suggests installing a bidet; and failing that, adding a bit of the water to the sheets.
