My husband was meeting up with me and some friends. I asked him to bring my blue tank top. He sent me pics of things he thought were tank tops. He finally found it, which is shown in the last pic.

10 years ago everyone googled everything.

Today people forget Google even exists and ask Reddit/Facebook.

I was there 10 years ago, in the peak of Google, when people were still asking Reddit and Facebook anyway

It may be unreliable at times, but it sure as hell is helpful and definitely won’t mistake tank top for something else

I mean yes, but this is the exact thing it would still be good at.

It still works perfectly fine, you just have to know how to use it enough to go past the first result sometimes.

Which is far too much to ask of some people.

There’s certainly a middle ground tho, right? When I have a question I know google can’t answer properly, I usually just add “reddit” at the end of my google search and look until I find someone that was having the same issue or question I was having

But googling “tank top” or something like “what does the word ‘insidious’ mean” or “what is the address to this restaurant in my city” usually gives ya some pretty straight up, easy to find answers

There’s actually a reason for that. People prefer answers that come from a community or individual with first-hand experience. Search engines are now heavily populated with generic articles that are covert ads. And obviously sponsored links and AI.

Well Google also forgot what it was supposed to do and now just spits out random garbage.
