Man that's the whole internet now. You go to look up one simple thing and suddenly you're four hours deep into some niche forum from 2007. It's like every search turns into a weird little detective case. I spent twenty minutes last week trying to figure out what kind of spider was in my garage. Ended up reading about the entire family of cobweb weavers.

Four hours just to identify a rock... that's a whole new level of rabbit hole. I once lost an afternoon trying to figure out if a weird stain on my ceiling was mold or just old water. The internet makes every little mystery feel like it needs solving right now. You start with a simple question and end up reading geology papers from a university you've never heard of. It's kind of amazing how deep you can go on something so random.
