Whether it be facts on when a particular song was released or trying to understand Quantam Mechanics from at least a high level to annoy your wife when all your dad jokes run out, we all are searching for knowledge. It can be very difficult sorting though niche forums and social media to figure out the answer to our everyday questions because of the relentless need for people to post thier opinions or saracasm.
