    Then why did you comment?

    Because the OP shared a bad source, some people might want to read about this event (I did, which is why I read this), and this is the original source and open-access. Like goddamn; did the submarine disappear because it went up your ass?

      If you can’t look at that source, read it for 5 seconds and realize it’s a shithole rag of disinformation and conspiracy theories, then you probably should be relying on other people to parse information for you. If you can’t find another source on the same information by using your thumbs, then you may want to get off the internet altogether. OP clearly wasn’t trying to fool anyone or spread disinformation, it’s a meme and you losers are in here demanding a better bibliography.

        Those people are only going to improve their media literacy when they can compare and contrast what good and bad sources look like – whether they do that on their own or with help from someone else. While that muscle is still underdeveloped in so many people, is it obscene to you to just help them a little?

        If you can’t find another source on the same information by using your thumbs

        Centralizing the information means less wasted work. I’d bet I can do the research you can do in an hour in ten minutes, and my actual decade-long hobby is making research easier for others; I don’t need this lecture.

        demanding a better bibliography.

        “Demanding” is when you just do the thing yourself immediately and unprompted without asking anything from anybody.

          Bro we’re in a meme subreddit and you’re writing walls of text. Touch grass.

            The comment I was replying to was 89 words. I wrote 116 and only used your quotes to establish what I was replying to. If you consider 116 words a wall of text worthy of ridicule, then I think you’re projecting about who the illiterate morons who shouldn’t be on the Internet are here. You should get off the Internet and pay attention; Mr. Winkler is trying to teach you and the other 4th-graders how to use context clues and what the three-syllable word “demanding” means.

              Bro actually counted the words lmfao. Touching grass isn’t enough, you might be a lost cause.

                counted

                Correction: copy–pasted the words into the text editor Kate in five seconds.

                A screenshot from Kate which shows, among other statistics, 89 words

                And sure I could’ve guessed, but I wanted to rub in exactly how stupid and self-owning your insult was.

                For all this big talk about “maybe you should get off the Internet”, you sure do fucking suck when it actually comes to conceiving of a way to find basic information.

                  You’re proving my point dumbass. You copied two comments and pasted them into a word count website to make a point in a meme subreddit

                  Lemmy is much better than reddit in so many ways but you can’t escape the losers.

        Providing a better bibliography, in case anyone else wants it.
