This is all the websites ranked higher than Wikipedia in the Google Search results for "radius of earth"

I can't find objective facts anymore with any search engine. Every single search engine will only give you multiple contradictory results only vaguely related to your exact specific query.
Quora APPEARS TWICE in Google's results for "radius of earth". And by "twice" I'm not counting how Google groups multiple Quora and Reddit results together in one block... because it already did that on the first Quora result... this is yet another Quora result that appears after the University of Las Vegas or something. Anyway, after Quora is a Reddit post to r/astrophysics saying: "What would happen if Earth's radius became half its current size?" And then, "space dot com" "How big is Earth?" Which says what NASA says... which by the way... where the fuck is NASA in these search results? Then the next result is a YouTube video about how the Earth is measured. This is a different YouTube video from the other YouTube videos which already appeared above this one in Google's Search results. Oh, here's a Google Search result for NASA... finally. It appears after all those other screenshot, and I'm skipping some for expediency, and NASA appears after the Google Search result for "www dot adda247 dot com" whatever the fuck "Adda247" is, it must be more authoritative than fucking NASA dot gov! This NASA result is for a page titled: "The Earth - Imagine the Universe!" hosted on the subdomain "imagine dot gsfc dot nasa dot gov" Which... sounds like a PR thing, but hopefully, an expert at NASA has proofread this. The next result is from Stack Exchange and the blurb says the Earth is 6378137 meters at the equator. I thought the decimal point was dropped until I realized that this is in meters, not kilometers. Holly shit! It's fucking Grokipedia! Google Search didn't present the "Earth radius" Wikipedia article (only the Wikipedia article for "Earth") but Google Search did find the more specific "Earth radius" article from Wikipedia on Grokipedia! The next result is "physicsteacher dot blog". I didn't realize ICANN had created a "blog" TLD. Then... YET ANOTHER YouTube video!

Inflationary dynamics of non-minimally coupled $f(R)$ matter-curvature theories. Miguel Barroso Varela et. al. https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.01532
Predictions for the scalar-to-tensor ratio and the scalar spectral index with a quartic symmetry-breaking potential, where $ $ decreases from left to right in the range $[0.05,0.001]$, and the boundaries of the shaded region correspond to inflation lasting $N_*=50-60$ $e$-folds. The $n=2$ NMC mod... Predictions for the scalar-to-tensor ratio and the scalar spectral index with a Starobinsky-like potential. The $n=3$ NMC model matches the GR predictions except when considering very strong couplings, as shown by the green dashed curve with the stars. Double-well potential of ``old'' inflation, where the inflaton starts in the false vacuum (FV) and the universe inflates exponentially, after which the field tunnels to the true vacuum (TV) and inflation ends. The slow-roll solutions for $ ( H^2)$ under the $ =0$ assumption in the $f_2^+$(left) and $f_2^-$ (right) models. The GR solution $ =3H^2$ is shown for comparison.

What I like best is that the game's gorgeous. The sequel's commitment to an Art Nouveau universe make it feel like walking into a world from the brain of Oz illustrator John R. Neill. The game didn't have to look this good at every turn, but it does.

I must admit, I can't stand Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon and George R. R. Martin's books in general, and I had terrible expectations for the new TV series in the same universe.
I tried many times to watch Got&HotD and read books, but each time I gave up.

Oh my god it's that old 4chan post except arguing that the tepid liberalism is a good thing
4chan post from 2017 (#1745693). The image is a picture of Daniel Radcliff w/ the text "Hey Guys, Wanna Buy Some Magic?" Word count exceeds alt text limit, full transcript here: https://old.reddit.com/r/COMPLETEANARCHY/comments/g0qtew/harry_potter_and_the_limits_of_liberalism/fnbvioc/ It very neatly describes the way liberals see the world and political struggle. Lots of people complain about the anti-climatic ending, but really I don't think it could any other way. I'd like to imagine that there's some alternate universe where Rowling actually believed in something and Harry was actually built up as the anti-Voldemort he was only hinted as being in the beginning of the books. Where he's [sic] opposes all the many injustices of the wizarding world and determines to change their frequently backwards, insular, contradictory society for the better, and forms his own faction antithetical to the Death Eaters and when he finally has his showdown with Voldy, Harry surpasses by adopting new methods, breaking the rules and embracing change and the progression of history. While Voldemort clings to an idyllic imaging of the past and the greatest extent of his dreams is to become the self-appointed god of a eternally stagnant Neverland. Harry has embraced the possiblity of a shining future and so can overcome the self-imposed limits Voldemort could never cross, and Voldemort is ultimately defeated by this. But that would require a Harry that believed in something. and since Rowling is a liberal centrist Blairite that doesn't really believe in anything, Harry can't believe in anything. Harry lives in a world drought with conflict and injustice, a stratified class society, slavery of the sentient magical creatures, the absurd charade the wizarding world puts up to enforce their own self-segregation, a corrupted and bureaucracy-chocked government, rampant racism, so on and so forth.
