Welcome to WhatWhyPedia!
WhatWhyPedia is the place to learn about the what and why of everyday things. What it is, why it exists or why you should care about it, and even a little bit about how it works.
The information provided here is concise and to the point. No bull if you will. The intent is not to replicate encyclopedias or wiki pages but rather to offer capsule summaries that allow you to get the gist of something quickly and easily. If you're in the market for a particular product or just wish to learn enough about something to be dangerous, this is the kind of preliminary information that is invaluable.
For example, perhaps you're thinking of buying a coffee grinder and have heard of burr grinders and conventional blade grinders but don't know much beyond that. Well, with a quick 30 second perusal at WhatWhyPedia, you'll quickly learn the differences between these two types of grinders and why many coffee lovers prefer the burr grinder over the blade grinder. You'll probably also learn a few technical details with which you can impress your friends and family some day.
We hope you enjoy your visit to WhatWhyPedia!
