These days you can't even tell people to google it themselves, because you can't find shit anymore with Google

@thomasfuchs I loved that they referenced searching something online using DuckDuckGo on a recent episode of Star Trek Brave New World
[it was a time travel episode]

@dragonarchitect @Elbrar The phrase “google it yourself” is used for when a _specific_ question, put _verbatim_ into Google, would return the answer.

@thomasfuchs @Elbrar Even back in the Before Times, Google or any search engine for that matter was not helpful if you didn't even know what key words to use.
I always hated being told to "google it" because if I didn't even know WHAT I was searching for, I was basically being told to get fucked. 😕
I never tell people to "google it". I either use my own knowledge of what to search for to get them what they need, or tell them the key terms they'll need for a fruitful search.
