@davidrevoy Panel 3 is so infuriatingly on spot for today's internet that it's almost infuriating!
Like the last time I was searching for something. And you won't believe what happened next…

@hacknorris @wikipedia I agree

Witch-Imp-edia
It is a book with a lot of loose papers in it. Everyone can add a paper. Every day at the same time all bookkeeping witches say a spell at the same time. This spell synchronizes all contents in all the witchipedia books.
Everyone who has a book is fighting off the red parrots, and in any time off they check all new entries and all changed entries in a coordinated process to filter out the slop. To coordinate they ...

@davidrevoy I can see the third panel turning into a meme where people swap out the words on the books.

@davidrevoy @hacknorris @wikipedia Wizarpedia?
@davidrevoy @hacknorris @wikipedia And for the slogan, "Wizarpedia - the free grimoire", as a parody of "Wikipedia - the free encyclopedia"?

@davidrevoy For whatever reason, "Spicy Onion Ring Recipes" as a connection is the funniest of the bunch for me. 10/10, no notes, kudos. Just wait until she goes looking for a book itself, only to find the local copy was mulched to feed the algorithms. (Also, sorry that you have to keep doing the paint thing to prove that you're not an AI, yeesh.)

... use an even bigger book titled discussions which has an hourly sync spell. Discussions evolve around who can sync stuff into the book. There are discussions about formatting, structure, content, persons and what should and should not be in the book.

@keeya @davidrevoy I also love panel 3. The book spines are a great idea.

@davidrevoy To be honest, I've become a subject to this
Sometimes when I search up a question in a search engine it gives me results for the totally wrong question and and when I try to search up problems I'm having with Blender I mostly get old posts which are irrelevant to the latest version of Blender soooo yeeeah sometimes I just have to use AI to get what I want because there aren't any good search engines out there that I know of. It sucks that I have to do that but it's kinda necessary. I still prioritise search engine use though because search engines aren't completely borked.There's a search engine designed to index the non-commercial web https://marginalia-search.com/ (mastodon:
@marginalia )that's worth trying.
Also I've gone back to remembering which forums focus on specific topics and will sometimes search them directly.

I stopped using Google years ago, and I did not replace it with Bing either. Nor did I trust DuckDuckGo since it is in America.
