You have a question.

Do you google it, or just post on STW as you’ll actually get a specific answer. Rather than the usual vague, and possibly US-centric, results in google.

If so, should STW be a verb?

Seeing as the verb "to Google" includes accepting a privacy policy - I'm out

depends. If its facts and something easy to google for I google. If its something obscure that its hard to make a search for ie cannot be put in a few words or its something bike related STW

If its a matter of opinions and I want to hear a variety of opinions then STW

I do both. Ask question on STW, Google whilst waiting for answers. Works for all my renovation questions....

Google mostly it's quicker than waiting for somebody else to Google it quicker and more likely to come up with the right answers.
Stw for opinions and more recent conditions reports.

STW for bike stuff almost always.

Then Google to find the price on the part I'm told on here I "need"! Lol 😀

Always Google, it saves having to read through 10 pages of repetitive arguments 😆

I came to STW through a google search so I guess any STW answer is also a google answer.

I google, somehow 9/10 times no matter how diverse the question there is a thread about it on STW in the first couple of google results.

Is there any question STW can’t answer?

Yes, I have found this too, and usually with really random questions. How to get Sudocrem off a cat and stuff like that...
