@Popehat Last time I had an office job there were multiple people in the next office who'd just walk into my office and ask really dumbfuck questions all day Then wonder why I was delayed in my work I'd email them answers using that old justfuckinggoogleit redirect, even drew them a map showing all the EU states so they'd stop asking (international sales, kinda important) So frustrating, my sympathies

@Popehat mental note to bring a donut should we ever meet.

@Popehat Are you saying the subscription cost for Serious Trouble is entirely to cover the donut overhead?

@Popehat I googled ‘donut’ and it seems that they are hemorrhoid treatment cushions. Do you need one? This may explain your state of mind…

@Catawu@mastodon.social 2023-01-19 02:57
@Popehat I bring donuts. Homemade Cookies (not the web kind), & Biscotti. *sits at your table* tell me everything you know.

@Popehat Are you sure you don't do tech support? You're clearly getting pestered by the same people. There's never a donut.

@Popehat Back when Google used to provide search results instead of sponsored content, I had a few friends who would occasionally text me to ask how to phrase their search to actually get useful results. Apparently I had abilities beyond the average person in that regard. On one hand, it's nice to feel be respected, on the other hand, there was no magic involved.
-
@Mcdyer@masto.ai 2023-01-19 03:05
@Popehat Yeah, but 90% of my job security is tied up in being the only person in my office who knows that Google exists or the super-complicated method of accessing it. (The other 10% is how to activate fonts.)

@Popehat When I ask my ex-husband a question about home repairs his response is, "Just because I have a penis doesn't mean that I know everything." I use YouTube now. Feel free to borrow his line. Someone might smile or laugh.

@Popehat Wait, you're not actually the Oracle at Delph— errr, hang on, lemme Google something real quick...

@Normdeplume@mstdn.social 2023-01-19 03:50
@Popehat is the old website LMGTFY still functional? (I googled it for myself, and it seems that the original is gone, but there are successors that purport to do the same thing)
-
@wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com 2023-01-19 04:16
@Popehat counterpoint: anything you can google now has an unimaginable amount of bullshit misinformation and bad takes in the results that can't always be easily digested and filtered by laymen.

@Popehat Send them to lmgtfy.com. It’s pretty entertaining

@Popehat I keep this handy little piece around to share when called for.

@Ashton@hachyderm.io 2023-01-19 04:57
@Popehat Ah, but Ken, you’re missing out on the true joy of being an oracle; the ability to give out meaningful sounding but cryptic replies that drive people insane, or that they only finally understand in a final moment of tragic irony.

@Popehat Delphic Oracles should always insist on sweets worthy of the office, e.g. one chocolate Baklava for each firing up of the Google machine.

@Popehat "So I asked ChatGPT if the first amendment applies to dogs and it said yes. That can't be right, can it, Ken? No, both these donuts are for me, why do you ask?"

@Popehat Reminds me of the time some Google employees were biking to work, wearing Google-branded shirts. A car pulled up next to them at a light, window rolls down and the driver asks "What do you call those inflatable boats used by scuba divers?" The cyclists looked at each other, puzzled, and said "you mean 'Zodiacs'?" "Yes. That's it. Thanks."... Window rolls-up, car drives off...
