There were literally phone numbers you could call and someone at a library would look up the answer to your question. In like, a day or so. And call you back with the info.
That would have been such a fun job to have

Does Bronze count as a mineral for these purposes? If so did you know that the earliest form of bronze was arsenical and that large amount of copper deposits used during the copper and bronze age were contaminated by arsenic. This is probably what resulted in early blacksmiths being shamans, because they poisoned themselves while making their tools and went crazy.

I have Skrillex trapped in my basement. Play this at full volume or I'll put him in the hole.

There is a widespread idea that people from the past were dumb due to a lack of information, the age of smartphones and free access to information has made it clear that a lack of information was never the issue, we are just really fucking stupid animals.

I have a friend who works for a library. They still offer this service. I don't think anyone under the age of 70 has used it in some time.

That's the neat part, they didn't.
They wanted to pivot to ads, or paid subscriptions, but neither revenue stream really materialized for them.
Google had a text to search service, too, that didn't make money, but turned out to be pretty valuable user data for developing smarter semantic search.

I thought mercury was more likely for causing those "issues."

I imagine everyone in the bar silent while he's on the phone, leaning forward, waiting to hear the answer.
I have to wonder how much money was made, and what happened to the poor fool who bet against this.
