How to treat nasal infection naturally<\/h2>

In principle, wikiHow is a great resource. Everyday people can use it to learn new skills. We can educate ourselves on basic ideas without the embarrassment of publicly admitting we don’t already know them.<\/p>

In practice, it makes for some weird articles. There are those aimed at sociopaths like How to Express Love<\/a>. There are those aimed at people with a loose grip on reality like How to Cast a Love Spell<\/a>. There are even some tailor-made for Destructoid employees who have to interact with Steven Hansen like How to Be Okay with Having a Communist Friend<\/a>. But the one thing all wikiHow articles seem to have in common is the often-bizarre cartoon images that come as accompaniment.<\/p>

Now there’s a game to test users on whether those images make any sense out of context. (Spoiler: they usually don’t.) damn.dog<\/a> presents a wikiHow image along with four real wikiHow article titles to choose from. Matching image to article isn’t exactly a cakewalk; I’m averaging about 75% correct after a couple dozen tries.<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":183039,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[725,254],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":12,"display_name":"Darren
