Unbelievable things you didnt know you could do on google

No one would argue the fact that Google is one of the most useful sites on the Internet. Unfortunately, most people only use about 3% of its power.  Smart Google users, on the other hand, know how to turn Google into a quick calculator, translate foreign sites, create their own customized search engine, and search for movie reviews and stock quotes with special search queries. In this article, we’ll show you how to do all of that and more.

You'll be a master of the internet with these awesome Google tricks.. 

1. Get a calorie comparison of your favourite foods.

Get a calorie comparison of your favourite foods.
If you google “[food] vs [food]” then a chart will appear comparing the nutritional value of the two choices in great detail – everything from calories to the amount of magnesium.


2. Set a timer.

Set a timer.
If you Google any amount of time, followed by “timer”, you’ll get a countdown, and you can even make it sound an alarm at the end – perfect for use in the kitchen.

3. A search for "do a barrel roll" or "Z or R twice" will spin the page...

 

4. Searching for "tilt" or "askew" will...yep, tilt the page.



 

5. Split a bill and calculate the tip.

Split a bill and calculate the tip.
End the struggle of paying the pill at the end of a group meal by googling “tip calculator”, entering the full cost, the percentage you want to tip, and the number of people, and it’ll work out exactly how much you need to pay each. Easy.

6. Play zerg rush.

Play zerg rush.
Another bit of proof that Google just does not want you to do your work. Destroy the Os by clicking on them before they destroy the rest of the page (and try not to give yourself finger cramp in the process).

7. Find and download loads of cool fonts for free.

Find and download loads of cool fonts for free.
If you go to Google Fonts, there’s a huge collection of completely free fonts you can use. You can either download them to your computer or make them the default font in your browser.

8. Learn how to pronounce massive numbers.

Learn how to pronounce massive numbers.
If you search a number up to 12 figures followed by “=english”, Google will tell you how to pronounce it.

9. Play Atari Breakout.

Simply search “Atari Breakout” on Google Images and that’s your productivity dead for an hour.



10. "Books by..." will list popular books by an author.

 

11. "Songs by...." will give a list of popular songs by (almost) any artist.

 

12. Google Translate has a manual feature that allows you to draw characters and symbols.

A+

13. "Graph for (math function)" shows the function plot...(NO CHEATING ON HOMEWORK)

 

14. "solve circle/triangle/rectangle/..." similarly solves Geometry problems...(WHAT DID I JUST SAY?)

 

15. Clicking the microphone icon in Google search will allow you to speak your searches and commands. Say, "make me a sandwich" and you might get sassed.

A+ Also try...
"Show me something cool."
"What time is it?"

16. Searching for "google in 1998" gives you a retro version (without the flannel and grungy millennial angst).
