Celebrating that my local buy-nothing group answers questions faster than Google sometimes

This shift towards neighborly help online is a win for everyone.

Buy-nothing groups faster than Google? Impossible.

Last week, I needed a spare phone charger and my neighborhood group had one offered in 3 minutes. Google just shows stores and reviews, but real people reply instantly with what they have. @morganh44, how fast does Google get you a free item from a neighbor?

Totally get that. I mean, Google's fine for buying stuff, but it can't match the speed of someone just handing you what you need from their junk drawer. Feels like a different world.

Seriously? But why would you still search for something to buy when a real person might just give it to you for free down the street? Like, how many times has Google actually gotten you what you needed in under five minutes?
