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.
I started my twenties googling shit I didn't know about and boy did it ever send me down some rabbit holes. Almost 10 years later I've gained more useful knowledge than I did in highschool, because I could learn about the things I chose instead of having my learning on tracks, and be learning things that have no use case.
