I had been using DDG for years but switched to SearXNG last fall after reading about it on Lemmy. It’s a privacy focused meta-search engine that can even be self-hosted. It’s wildly customizable and I’ve been pretty happy with the results.
If you’re not interested in self-hosting, or just want to test drive it a bit, there are lots of public instances you can use as well.
Two of my favorite things. Cats and The Simpsons. Now that’s what I call a cromulent post!
Not reading articles and just commenting on the headline. It’s extremely disappointing that habit carried over from reddit.
Also, shoutout to the !NoLawns@slrpnk.net community!
One fine day with a woof and a purr
A baby was born and it caused a little stir
No blue buzzard, no three-eyed frog
Just a feline canine little CatDog
CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world is a little CatDog!
Out on the road or back in town
All kinda critters putting CatDog down
Gotta rise above it gotta try to get along
Gotta walk together gotta sing this song
CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world is a little CatDog!
Well, no answer that these guys want to hear.
Spot on, this applies to so many other paranormal events too. Some people refuse to believe that their favorite “mysteries” were never really all that mysterious to begin with. Nor are they willing to accept explanations they view as being too mundane. At a certain point they’ve sunk so much time and become too emotionally invested in the legend to accept anything but the most wild and grand explanations.
Dyatlov Pass is a great example of this. The avalanche theory was always the most likely explanation but without question the least exotic. But it also applies to things like the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film, the 1934 Loch Ness monster photo, the Amityville/DeFeo murders, and conspiracy theories surrounding damn near every modern political assassination since Lincoln.
