The Internet knows everything
I have never failed to find the answer to whatever problem I am trying to solve. Garbage disposal not working? Here's 10 videos showing how to trouble shoot. Trouble with an obscure glitch in a game? Here's a 5 page forum thread of people talking about the same thing. Tonight it was how to gain access to a key fob that fell into a box under the driver seat. And yes, there was a reddit thread for that too.
What obscure mystery has the Internet solved for you?

How to get all the legendary items in Baldur's Gate 3, 2 days after full release.
How to play many songs on guitar that I could not figure out alone plus lyrics to many songs I could not decipher.
Searched google maps for many places I used to live, some of which still exist.

Re: The Internet knows everything
The internet told me I lived in a million dollar house and that I owned a home in the LA area and one in the SF Bay Area.
Sadly none of that is true. Also I have a rare, at least in California, last name so it is kind of curious as to how the internet came to that conclusion.

Remember the day when you'd be at a bar and your companion(s) would pose a question that nobody could answer? Most of the crew would take their best shot, but it usually ended in "huh, I guess we'll never know." Now everyone consults their personal oracle and gets contradictory answers. You still don't know, but everyone thinks they do.

The internet knows everything, and most of it isn't true.

Was the line "Walk without rhythm and you won't attract the worm" from Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice" inspired by Frank Herbert's Dune?

I would have liked the movie a lot more if Paul and Jessica had danced like that across the sand to the tune of that song.

Did you know? Honey never spoils. Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible.

Re: The Internet knows everything
They're much better caught fresh, track to table.
Deputies arrested a 28-year-old man after he was seen walking around and waving the severed leg of a man who was struck and killed by a train nearby.
According to an arrest report, on March 22 at 8:08 a.m., Kern County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to the Amtrak Station in Wasco about a person who had been hit by a northbound train. As one of the responding deputies was arriving, Amtrak employees reportedly pointed to a man, who was identified as Rosendo Tellez, walking down the street with an object under his sweater.
The deputy approached Tellez because he was not sure whether Tellez was the injured victim in the collision. As the deputy got near Tellez, he reportedly "pulled the object out from his sweater and dropped it on the floor."
The "object" turned out to be a left leg severed at the knee.
...
In one video, Tellez is reportedly "bent over at the waist while holding the leg near his face." After standing up, Tellez reportedly "brings the leg up to his face and briefly touches the leg against his mouth."
It's almost as if people are the problem.
