      Bro literally asks for “data to support this”

      So I guess they wanted someone to say

      yeah theres data to support this, trustmebro™

      And thats it

      Because usually people looking for DATA would use the internet search function, NOT expect verbal responses which DO NOT constitute data

      I dont understand all the idiots downvoting you because I wouldve done the same thing

      You want data, search the web

      You want anectdotes, talk on a forum

      Its annoying when people expect to be spoonfed credible data on a forum rather than taking 5 seconds to find it themselves (and sharing it, imagine that, fucking utopic) instead of someone else spending double that time finding it and writing a comment with sources in reply (thats called spoonfeeding)

      But hey here comes the airplane I guess

        It blows my mind that people will take safety advice from a random comment, question it, and expect another random comment to clarify for them, especially in a platform as small as Lemmy. It’s so alien a thought process to me that I can’t understand it, but it makes it easier to see how misinformation spreads so easily.

        “Hey, you seem to know something about this, is there anything specific I can look for to learn more instead of starting from zero?”

              Is there data to support this? I imagine if a fire breaks out in an apartment and I don’t wake up in time, I’m fucked anyway. Hopefully smoke detectors in all rooms will do their job.

              I don’t see a request for feedback. I see someone asking for data from a commenter, saying they were probably fucked either way, and hoping smoke detectors would help. The only request was for supporting data, and why would you trust “data” from a random commenter?

      Why are you on an online forum if communicating with other people is such a burden for you? lol

        Are you asking for anecdotes or information? Because it would’ve taken less time for you to search than for me to search, write a comment, and post a link. Why are you on the internet if you want other people to read for you? Good on you to attack me for your laziness.

          I’m with you on this one. The way they rudely asked that question, then forced you to look up the answer and post the link. It should be illegal.

          I think they were looking for a conversation. If saving time is the goal, we wouldn’t be here in the first place.

          Bro, no one was attacking here until you rolled up and attacked. You weren’t even the person they responded to. You could’ve said and done nothing and no one would have ever known or cared. Instead, you decided to cause a scene.

          They weren’t asking you to search, they were asking if you the person they responded to knew anything off the top of your their head.

            I also explained my viewpoint and expected to hear what they think, i.e. tried to have a normal conversation. But we’re on the internet, so yeah…
