After going through my browser history, I realised some interesting things about how I use my browser. First, I actually open PeakD several times in a day. Secondly, I don't google things frequently, although it's likely PeakD flooding my history could have clouded my observation. Anyway, without further ado, let's get into what I last googled and why.
"Did Rema actually sing Ozeba?"
Now this is something unexpected, but I really, really wanted answers. But let's first rewind a bit.
I had been seeing "ozeba" around a lot lately, and it got me curious. It was in memes and stickers, but I didn't understand why. I eventually learnt it was a song by a popular Nigerian artist, Rema, and so I thought to hear what it sounds like. I jumped on to YouTube and played one of its music videos.
Lo and behold, I found the famous ozeba and started to listen. But not long after listening in, I had a puzzled face. The song was catchy, but to me, it wasn't Rema's voice I was hearing.
I used to like Rema a lot back when he was just starting out. He had very well-cooked songs with catchy bars that soon brought him so much fame and success. He had a unique voice, and that didn't change too much as he grew older. What I heard on Ozeba was totally different, so it had me really curious. And that's how I found myself asking...
Did I get useful results? Surprising to me, no. It seems like I am the only one who heard his song differently, and so there was nothing trending or at least asked about if Rema did sing the song himself and wasn't lip syncing in his videos.
As I found nothing, I dismissed the case and quickly moved on with my life. Getting answers would have done totally nothing for me.
"youtube transcript extractor"
Sometimes, I like to delve a little deeper into content made on YouTube. I could want to ask more questions about what the creator has said in his video. Perhaps try to brainstorm ideas from YouTube videos or even observe and analyse their scripts. It could be anything, really, but just taking notes may not suffice sometimes. I may want everything entirely, and the transcripts are usually the key.
The sad thing, however, is that YouTube video transcripts are not always available for me to copy. And in my mind, I felt there could be a walk around it. So I simply began to search...
And then I found some online tools to do the trick. I only needed to provide the links to the videos, and the magic flowed. And I would usually feed that transcript into ChatGPT and continue as planned.
"foraging"
I had never seen or heard this word before until someone used it in a conversation with me. To get the entire context of their statement, I had to, of course, quickly look it up. It turned out to be a simple word, but I am sure I would hardly use it even after having learnt it.
And that's something that I actually do often. I look up the meaning of words many times a day. When I read books, especially novels, I always find words I don't know what they mean. It's much easier on my mobile Chrome browser, as I can simply highlight the word and "Web Search" pops up with a Google search of the word—like when I checked out "coagulation cascade" and fled when I quickly discovered it was beyond me.
I usually search for things on YouTube, ask ChatGPT, or check through feeds on places like X. There are many apps and services that are more apt sometimes. And what I would usually google are how-tos, "this vs. that," meanings of words, and similar simple things that I can get quick answers to, which Google AI Overviews kind of helps me with a lot these days.
And that's what I googled last and why. Pretty much random things. I wonder what yours are. You may share with us in the Digital Lifestyle community.
