Last year, 2,161,530,000,000 searches were made through Google, yet a majority of those people probably never knew Google can do SO much more…
We put together a list of helpful things Google can do for you, along with a few fun secrets that not many people know about.
1. Google can help you decide what to eat for dinner.
2. You can use Google as a timer.
3. It can give you the exact times for sunrise and sunset.
4. You can play the hidden game “zerg rush.”
5. You can get the weather forecast of any city just by typing the city followed by “forecast.”
6. By using the “site:” keyword, Google will only give results for that website. For example, simply enter the phrase “site:lifebuzz.com penguins” and you will get only articles on the LifeBuzz website which are about penguins.
7. You can calculate exact tip amount for your meals. You can also adjust the percentage and number of people dining.
