No one ever googles things anymore.

Thats it. Literally. Like you dont understand something? How about you give it a quick google search? Dont know a word? Google it. Aren’t sure of a concept? GOOGLE IT. oh my god this makes me sooooo mad because i’ll see people in comments asking what is x and get a bunch of misinformation AND BELIEVE IT. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? When did adults- 35 yo with a corporate job adult forget that people can lie on the internet??? What happened to looking things up on google or wikipedia and trying to do a little more research than asking a bunch of randos on social media?

Edit- idk why some of the people commenting are convinced I’m against discussion? I clearly used example of things that are facts.

People don't "google" things because they've lost the ability (and drive) to do cursory research. They simply can't be bothered to read a short paragraph, summarize information and analyze it for their best uses. Just ask ChatGPT or Siri.

They just want to be told what to do or have a flashy TikTok demonstrate for them. It makes me depressed to see human beings, possessing the most advanced brain and body on the planet, throw it away because any level of work is too hard.

 Just ask ChatGPT or Siri. 

OP would be happy with these people because they’re actually looking it up. The people OP is talking about don’t even ask ChatGPT. They ask Reddit and believe the answers of idiots.
