BC GOOGLE SEARCH TRICKS
Saved by @kirankio1996

4.3 billion people use Google every day.

But 99.9% of them don't know how to search Google properly.

Here are 15 tips to use Google more efficiently:

 Use quotes

When searching for something specific: use quotes.

Search: Sun the perineum

And the engine will search for content that contains those 3 words in any order.

But if you search “Sun the perineum” it will search for that phrase exactly as you typed it.
Use a colon to search specific sites

Search: law of attraction site:https://t.co/XRep1lKOZU

Will show you results on the 'law of attraction' only from my website.
Find sites that are similar to other sites

Search: related:https://t.co/QOHfyrxF81

Will show you all the sites related to Twitter.
Find a specific file

Syntax: Wisdom filetype:pdf

Will show all pdfs related to 'wisdom'.

This can mostly be useful for scholarly purposes, business presentations and other assorted presentations.
Use @ to search social media

Add @ in front of a word to search social media.

Search: infinitians@twitter

Will show all the results for Infinitians from Twitter.
Look for images of specific colour, size, copyright, time or type.

If you search for Deadpool and tune your result to the colour orange

It will give you images of an orange Deadpool.

Yup really.
Compare two or more things using “vs”

If you want to determine whether living in Bali is better than Dubai

Just search: Bali VS Dubai
Spell Those Numbers

How do you spell out 6,546,345,645? Google can tell you if you search [number]=english
Play Games in Google Search

Google has a host of built-in games like Pac-Man, tic tac toe, Solitaire, Minesweeper, and Snake.

Search flip a coin and Google will do it for you; the same thing with a die or spinner.
Create a Google Alert

If you want to be notified whenever a keyword is published on the web

Create a Google Alert
Use a hyphen to exclude words

Using "-" excludes words or phrases from the results.

Search: Rocky -film

Will show results related to 'rocky' in general but not the film Rocky.
Perform a Reverse Image Search

This function allows you to upload an image file and find information on that image.

Eg: if you uploaded a picture of the Eiffel Tower

Google will recognize it and give you information on the Paris monument.
Add a tilde (~) in front of a word to find synonyms

If you search for iPhone ~cheap

You will also get results for "iPhone inexpensive," and so forth.
Use Google search to do math

Perhaps my go-to feature.

Whether it's converting currencies
Dividing a big number
Or even calculating the square root of 4761

Google has you covered.
Leverage Google Shortcuts

• Weather *zip code* – This will show you the weather in the given zip code

• Time *place* – This will display the time in whatever place you type in.

• Define: *word* – This will display the definition of a word.

• Sunrise/Sunset *city*
Use an asterisk in place of words you do not know.

If you forget things and words easily, * will come to your rescue.

Search: imagine all * for today

And google will give you John Lenon on a silver platter.
Do you want to make rational decisions?

Do you want to live a happy life?

Do you want to build a successful business?

You need mental models to achieve them.

A long but must read thread. Udaybhan Rathore and myth making in Maratha history: An analysis. This is the thread on Udaybhan Rathore, who he was and how over the time period, his life was portrayed in maratha chronicles and pseudo history. (1/n)

Udaybhan rathore was the head of Bhinai thikana (84 villages) in Ajmer. He was the direct descendant of the famous Rao Chandrasen, Raja of Marwar (4th generation) who resisted Akbar all his life and never made any alliance with mughals like Maharana Pratap. (2/n)

Later in 1783, Maharaja of Jodhpur gave title of Raja to Bhinai family for their military service. Bhinai family and their direct descendant Raja Sh Mayuraj Singh still lives in Ajmer. Anyway coming to Udaybhan Rathore and story of Tanaji. (3/n)

Jai Singh's march on Shivaji and treaty of Purandar (1665) is a well known episode to repeat here. After getting the hill forts from Shivaji under the treaty, Jai Singh didn't have enough man-power to man every one of the small forts because of his next (4/n)

campaign against Bijapur. Jai Singh personally took over a couple of important forts like Kondhana (Sinhgarh), Purandar etc. Others were given to some mughals or their fortification walls destroyed. Jai Singh died in 1667 near Burhanpur while enroute to the north. (5/n)

1/ Recently, I learned about the concept of ‘struggle porn’. This refers to the fetish of sacrificing nearly everything (health, relationships, time) for your startup. I fear that this label is creating more harm than good.

2/ @nateliason wrote a fabulous article about this topic, which first introduced me to this concept. Everyone should read it:

3/ @alexisohanian also recently spoke about struggle porn, though referring to it as ‘hustle porn.’ (as the co-founder of @hustlefundvc, obviously I take issue with this pejorative definition of ‘hustle’, but that’s another topic)

4/ Struggling in itself isn’t necessarily bad. Let’s be real here--if you’re going to start a startup, you will struggle. Founders should expect to work harder generally than employees. You will be challenged in many ways and also be super rewarded in others. This is normal.

5/ However, if you are over-indexing on hard work without clear purpose and degrading your mental health/relationships in the process--then this is very bad and we obviously should not celebrate this behavior.

So, on the subject of bonkers hyperbolic pretzeling over the Bell judgement, Grace 'destroy books I don't like & make inappropriate jokes about sterilising teenage girls' Lavery has some thoughts.

Tell me why my feminism is wrong Grace.

Oh

Well, if anyone thought the Bell judgment was going to make TRAs reconsider making massively overblown claims with no evidence backed up with nothing but a thick wadge of emotional blackmail.... HAHAHA, no one thought that.


A high court in the UK made a delimited judgment about teenager's ability to consent to puberty blockers. This puts all trans people everywhere in the world at risk.

Because if any human anywhere has any thoughts that deviate in any way from the rote line dictated by

the trans rights movement, this puts all trans people everywhere in mortal danger.

Let's be honest Grace. It doesn't put trans people at risk. It puts trans ideology at risk. Because trans ideology depends on the idea of innate gender identity, and the trans child is the

necessary material evidence of the ontology of gender identity.

That is, children are being medicalised to provide evidence to underwrite adults identities.

Nothing to see here.

🌿𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓 : 𝑫𝒉𝒓𝒖𝒗𝒂 & 𝑽𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒏𝒖

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"

The kingdom of Sindh was ruled by its last Hindu king Raja Dahir during the 8th century. When Muhammad-bin-Qasim invaded Sindh, he decimated Sindh in his savage bloodlust. The chronicles of his advent are described in the Chachnama.


2/n
The Chachnama describes in detail how the Arabs led by butcher Qasim conquered Sindh. It tells the terrible tale of bravery, treachery, & carnage marking the entry of Islamic conquest of India’s Hindus.


3/n
When Muhammad-bin-Qasim attacked Sindh, Dahir had collected an army of 50,000 horses and marched from Brahamanabad to Rawar to face the invader. Qasim had an army that numbered in the tens of thousands with camels & horses.

4/n
Earlier Arab Alafis - Syeds from Prophet Mohammed’s own family had fled from Mecca with 500 men to Sindh and Raja Dahir had given them asylum. Trusting these Muslims would prove to be the fatal mistake for the downfall of Sindh & pave the way for Islamic invasion.

5/n
On an “auspicious day” in A.D. 711, fixed by astrologers, Mohammed Bin Qasim started for Sindh at the head of the Iraqi, Syrian, and other Arab soldiers. His horses and camels were disguised to look like lions and elephants. Rebel Jats also joined Qasim’s army.
