I’ve been almost addicted to Yahoo Answers for the past week.
Haven’t asked any question myself, I just keep answering random questions.
Ever used Yahoo Answers? It’s pretty entertaining, for awhile…
I guess it’s sub-consciously satisfying to explain simple procedures to people who don’t have a clue.
Ive been using it for a bit. I usually type a question up in google and the first few links are yahoo, and the answers so far, have all been right.
It is amusing to type the wrong answers. same with wikipedia.
I remember Editing The ‘Santa claus’ article in wiki, deleting the two or three pages of cited history and replacing it with: He’s not real.
I was Wikibanned for a few weeks, well banned from having an account.
It seems 99% of the science-related questions are typed, verbatim, homework assignments.
It makes me sick to think that kids aren’t even bothering to Google for sites that’d help them solve those problems on their own. There are dozens of excellent resources that provide all the basic formulas and step-by-step instructions on how to solve said formulas… yet they go unused so many times.
