The first step would be opening an encyclopedia. A lot of households actually had an encyclopedia on their shelves for this very reason. Something which these "pre-internet" rumination threads always seems to neglect.

Honestly I only ever knew one household with an encyclopedia set, I’m sure it depends on the location but where I lived that was more of an upper middle class thing.

I still have an encyclopaedia on my shelf. I have to admit it’s the small edition though.

I also still have a bunch of dictionaries (different languages), and a very outdated atlas.
