WikiHow: The Most Honest Bullshit Literature on the Internet



This website teaches you everything: how to change your iPhone ringtone, how to combat loneliness in the middle of the night, how to sleep better. Sounds wonderful?

The problem is, people who genuinely need a tutorial on "how to deal with nighttime loneliness" probably won't get cured just by following WikiHow's three-step guide. People who actually know how to change their iPhone ringtone don't need a tutorial at all.

But that's the charm of WikiHow—it packages obvious common sense into an "expert guide" using serious illustrations and step-by-step procedures. Its purpose isn't to solve problems, but to give you a sense of "I'm making an effort to change" when you search for "how to look smarter" at 3 a.m.

Free, available on all platforms, covering every aspect of life. The perfect modern placebo.
