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?
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" 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.
Correction: copy–pasted the words into the text editor Kate in five seconds.
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.
Case in point: you.
If people on lemmy think I'm a loser I'm doin alright
The ego and your lack of awareness of it is sad bud.
Comments repeatedly in threads they're arguing the toss about nothing multiple times an hour and has the audacity to call other people terminally online?
"Touching grass isn't enough, bro. You might be a lost cause."
Pretty sure they're a pretty competent troll. They're doing a great job skirting the line between being the right level of unsufferable and too much.
Another casualty of redditspeak
QED
Providing a better bibliography, in case anyone else wants it.
