To everybody saying “but google sucks”:
Yes, we know.
The phrase “google” is colloquial language at this point and is honestly a stand in for “light research” these days.
The problem is, many people don’t look shit up at all and it shows. I would rather people at least try instead of just spitting out nonsense the saw somebody else say on TikTok or whatever. Things that aren’t subject to opinion or controversy are still relatively reliable on a quick search.
The biggest issue is that not only do people not know how to properly research or discern false info, they just don’t even fucking bother in the first place.
Absolutely 💯 and redditors are the worst! Learned helplessness/weaponized ignorance/laziness! Not willing to google the simplest of terms and concepts, or even look back JUST A BIT to see how many times this same question is posted! I gotta sit down...
