I noticed wikiHow's website got updated, and the homepage shows new articles, things that are trending, etc. It's become a favorite place to find inspiration for learning new things daily. Also, try the special random button! It gives you fun (and sometimes funny) new guides to try.
Half of the time, this is a good site, good info. However, there is an article about how to guilt-trip someone and another one about convincing your boyfriend to have sex. Some articles show kids how to sweet-talk their teacher out of giving them detention. Some even encourage children to convince their parents that they are bad parents or don't love them if they don't give them what they want. Many articles send bad messages.
I tried the wikkihow on how to have phone sex, I read that it told me to ask my partner if I could play with his Willy. I apparently read this wrong. This and the rest of the things the wikkihow told me to do made my boyfriend very uncomfortable. Do not recommend.
This website while appears to be a "how-to-do" practical things website, turned into a brainwashing and anti parental rights, anti-freedom website. It is teaching kids how to lie to their parents, how to endanger themselves with unavoidably unsafe products without parental consent or knowledge. This website believes that the children do not belong to their parents to raise, only the financial burden and mental anguish to deal with immature and misinformed decisions pushed by this website. Let your kids use this website at your own peril.
Usually I love this wikiHow and I've used it many times and been very happy. Until today I would have given 5 stars. But I was HORRIFIED to see how it has articles teaching kids step-by-step how to LIE TO THEIR PARENTS about VACCINATIONS. This is totally immoral. Vaccines have been proven to carry a lot of health risks (read their own inserts for crying-out-loud) How many teens know theirs or their family's health history? These articles could have serious outcomes for kids if there is an adverse reaction. Oh yeah, and it instructs the kid to lie about that too. This must be rectified. This is no joke. WikiHow should be held financially responsible if one kid gets hurt after they've read through this article.
I think another user hit the nail on the head when they pointed out that the site is WAY over-moderated. You can't submit legitimate changes to an article without some power tripping idiot changing it back less than 15 hours later. The moderators aren't experts on a lot of the subjects, yet they're more than happy to leave information up (or out) that could have serious legal or health ramifications.
If you want how to information on simple things like how to boil an egg, this site is a good resource. If you're looking to get information on anything that could be dangerous, has anything to do with running a business, or any matter that could leave you open to litigation; I wouldn't rely on the site for information that is accurate or complete.
This is the most useless bunch of crap on the internet.
"How to pet a cat"
"How to snap your fingers"
"How to blink"
"How to Bite Your Lip Seductively" (under health)
"How to determine if you are tall"
