Whether you are researching something for a project, or if you want to watch a funny video on YouTube, then you’ve probably used Google. But what if I told you that there were secrets that Google had which you might not have known? What if you wanted to be one of the 5% of people that are aware that they even existed. But suddenly, you came across this article that explains how to access them and why they exist. Meaning if you had found this article, you had come to the right place to find them. Now let’s get to the main purpose of why you are here. Finding the secrets of Google.
Now you might be wondering, “where did you find the secrets?”. Well, there is a stache of secrets on a website known as www.elgoog.im. A.k.a Google Mirror. And once you go onto the website, you can find multiple things. One of those things being video games. If you are a gamer, then read this part closely. The games that are on there include Atari Breakout, Pac-Man, Snake, And the Chrome Dinosaur Game. If you can’t find them right away, then don’t fret. There is a solution. First you go to the Searchbar in the website, type in one of those things, and voilá! You can play those games, and have fun along the way! That is, only if you want to stop reading this article. If you stop reading now, then you won’t be able to find out more of the secrets. So just stay with me for now, okay? But anyways, back on topic.
Another secret you can find on www.elgoog.im is something that avengers fans need to know. The Infinity Gauntlet. To be specific, you have access to it. The way you can gain access to it is simple and similar to the previous one. Go to the searchbar, and type in Thanos. Once you do that, you will find the Infinity Gauntlet next to Thanos, now click on it, and you will have to figure out the rest. There is a lot you can find on www.elgoog.im, but I can’t fit it all on this article, and not all of the secrets lie upon that website. So let’s move onto another stash I know of. Okay?
Another stash of secrets that you can find is on the Android via Google Assistant. One of the secrets is what Harry Potter fans should pay close attention to.
The spells that are used in Harry Potter actually work on Google Assistant. For example, if you say “Lumos Maxima”, then the screen would be brightened to the highest setting, just like how the spell lights up the whole entire room. To undo that, you can just say “Nun”, and the screen will go back to normal, like how the spell gets rid of the light caused by the spell. Wait, another one you can try saying is “Wingardium Leviosa” and then it will- Nah, don’t do that one, you’ll regret it afterwards.
Anyway, another secret that you can find with Google Assistant is simply things you say to it. Yup, That’s right. You can say certain things to Google Assistant and it will respond to you in a surprising way. For example, if you say “OK Google, never gonna give you up”, Then Google will reply with “Oh Rick, you always know the right thing to say”. Another thing you can say to Google is “OK Google, I’ll be back”, and then Google will reply, “You know where to find me.”
There are a lot of different things you can say to Google Assistant, but you’ll have to find the rest out by yourself. For now, let’s move onto the last stash of secrets. Okay?
The last stash of secrets that you can find is by just simply using Google Search. Sounds easy, right? Because it is easy to access. Now, let’s say you are bored, and you want to play minesweeper in order to stretch your brain. Now if you search “minesweeper” in the searchbar, then voilà! You get to play minesweeper! (Psst, hey! If you are wondering how to play it, then click on a square to dig it, and crtl + click to flag the square, however there are only a limited amount of flags, so be careful, okay?) Anyway, let’s move on to the next secret which outsiders will enjoy. So, Let’s say you wanted to go on a walk in the woods. Unfortunately, it is raining outside so you aren’t able to go. However, you still want to feel like you are in the woods. This is where the secret kicks in. If you search “animal sounds” in the searchbar, then you can listen to sounds of animals such as a Crow, Raccoon, Duck, Rabbit, Moose, Hedgehog, or a Robin. That way, when you are listening to the sounds, you will feel like you are walking in the woods, even though you are actually not!
Anyways, Those are all of the secrets I was able to find. I wish I could have been able to tell you more secrets, but there are still a lot of google’s secrets that I have yet to explain to you.
For now, you’re gonna have to find out the rest of the secrets all by yourself...
