Fact: 90% of science is made with quartz
… accurate
Is there any good search engines? I mean I’ve tried searching recently for a solution I referenced 3 months ago and it’s disappeared from Google and Bing.
Shit, even looking up repair information for a household appliance if can’t find the model before the newest and it all points to a sale page for the newest version.
Maybe AkJeeves!?
Kagi is meant to be okay, but it’s paid.
There’s also SearX which you could self host.
I second Kagi with the additional mention of their “lens” feature that allows results to be restricted to scholarly sources which is very relevant to the meme’s search needs.
Plus forum search so you never have to add “reddit” or “lemmy” to your search phrase again.
I’m not sure what exactly you’re typing into the search field, but I don’t anything like this. The top 3 sites I get for a search of “minerals” are wikipedia, australian museum, and britannica. Typing in “crystals” gets me a healthline article debunking crystal healing, but the following results are some woman’s personal store and amazon. Lastly, being direct about wanting scientific articles gets me said articles…
Side note: Why are there so many people pushing for kagi in this thread and skipping over the fact that duckduckgo exists? It’s kinda bizarre to see.
I’ve commented about potential Kagi astroturfing here before.
Seems likely to me.
Their trial - too short for me - felt like a private Google w/improvements.
Now, as a filthy freeloader, my default is DuckDuckGo. I am dissatisfied with the results and !bang out to Google (!g) about half the time. I pray DDG makes use of this data to improve their engine.
tl;dr astroturfing vs. bad results vs. enabling the king of adware
Gosh I need to set up SearXNG! Also “private Google” vibes. Instances here
The only way crystals can heal you is if that crystal is salt and your illness is a salt deficiency.
What if I’m bleeding out from a gunshot wound and I have a crystal that is sufficient diameter to plug said gunshot wound?
Helps not die. Not so much heal.
Not dying helps heal.
I remain skeptical. But you do you.
Ah yes I love the science of rock and rock accessories
