ngl, I don't comment nearly as often anymore out of concern for anything I say to be misconstrued, argued, or wanting verification like this meme. Ya'll, I've got a job and a life, I can't/don't want to sit here and fight people. The worst gets assumed of anything and it gets difficult to have productive, much less positive discourse online.

I asked my employer provided AI assistant if this is true and it assured me that natural snowfall was disinformation invented by leftists in order to destroy our capitalist utopia.
I've already had people demand "source?" for the most mundane facts. Why yes steroids do enhance physical ability.
source?
Read the comment above yours, that's where I learned about it
this guy showed up with receipts
Source...
There are clips out there of FOX news saying "if global warning is real, then why is there a blizzard?!"
Republicans have a hard time understanding nonliterals, it's honestly weird and one of the most common denominators between them I've noticed

True 💀
Let's not vilify people asking for citations. With AI it's more important than ever to verify what you're reading.
Pretty bold comment for someone with no sources.
amen
I'm absolutely okay with vilifying people asking for sources on the historical existence of snow.

RL has been like that for a while
"Do you have a source?" means, "I already know you are wrong but you won't believe me unless you find out for yourself."

The evil version of this is when people cite a click bait article, you go to the article and read the attached study and the study is not backing up their claims in any meaningful way. Like come on bro you clearly haven't read this study don't cite it and claim I need to educate myself.
Average YouTube influencer for me.
It's gotten even worse in the past year. Most of them sound like they're parroting AI summaries of blog posts and sprinkling stupid ass cutaway gags to memes. Like rather than actually consuming the entire body of context around a subject and having an informed take, they're just giving shallow thoughts and trying to monetize.
Any YouTuber whose whole angle is to spicy commentary on current events in tech/programming is definitely part of the trash heap.

People are interested in sourcing of information in 2034? I see that as an absolute win.

No, that's the current trend here (Switzerland plains).
Same here in Slovenia. 15 years ago we had at least 30cm of snow each winter that would stick around. Now if we even get any snowfall and not just rain it either rains the same day and the snow is gone, or the rain comes a day later and the snow is once again gone.
Also the local lake used to freeze every year. It has froten once in the last 15 years.
