Wikipedia is an incredible achievement. It's one of the only information sources I find to be consistently useful across a broad range of topics. It's also one of the only remaining sources I feel to be mostly trustworthy.

These days I append either "wikipedia" or "reddit" to most of my Google searches in order to get useful information. There's so much SEO'd garbage out there, but Wikipedia remains a breath of fresh air.

IDK about Wikipedia, but Reddit's builtin search sucks. Google is better.

I find Google’s search on Reddit to be much better than Reddit’s.
