It's gotten to a point where I just go ahead append a warning that I have no source and am just making casual conversation.

Source: my previous comment on Lemmy.

People who make memes mocking the expectation of a source are the ones responsible for the downfall of society

Not everything needs a source. There is such thing as "common knowledge" . Things get very out of hand and very messy if you try to source EVERY claim. Obviously there are limits to this and I put common knowledge in quotes for a reason but seriously I mean it when I say not everything needs a source.

I've heard a saying, two things you should never do on the Internet are argue or explain. It takes up a lot of mental energy and time to do it for no reward.

Oh you don't understand how much reward i get on tiktok for proving my point so much that i get blocked.

It brings me unfathomable joy

I think in many cases the people who explain things are doing a huge service. They’re silently appreciated by many. The true GOATs of the internet.

I’ve read so many great explanations on Reddit for things in math, science, literature, etc and I feel very grateful to the people who explained them.

We lost all the ice in the polar regions back in 2013. And the hole in the ozone layer killed everyone back in the 1990s

F'real I think my kids have had maybe one snow day so far, and my oldest is in second grade. We live in southeast Mass.

I thought about buying a new snowblower, but the fact is that I think we had maybe one storm in the past 5 or 6 years where I actually would've used my old one. The little dustings we had were easily cared for by a shovel.

I also have a part of my driveway that has a lot of tree overhang and never really gets much snow on it. It also happens that the winter morning sun has a direct path to this patch of asphalt, so if we get only an inch or two, it'll all melt away as soon as the sun comes up. Assuming it's not too overcast.

Don't worry. It won't happen like this. There will be no one left.

I would like to see the source for this meme.

Just give me back the fucking 80s and 90s.
