Yeah the Google search in android is painful. Also in the subway with bad connectivity it's still possible to load facebook with gifs, pictures, texts etc. But a simple Google search is not possible.

That's Facebook being clever and shuffling around posts it already had. That's not possible with a search query.

There's countless times when I'm waiting for something and think "how crazy can this api possibly be?!"

I imagine some convoluted thing where they're passing authorization nonces around and getting normalized data so they have to make separate requests for each object id. (Eg: /business_name/:id, /descriptions/:id, /ratings/:id ... ) and bring it together client side... This isn't a request, it's a long conversation.
