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…
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.
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
They seem to be fine with euphemisms and dog whistles.
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.
I’m absolutely okay with vilifying people asking for sources on the historical existence of snow.
amen
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.
True 💀
People are interested in sourcing of information in 2034? I see that as an absolute win.
Already feels like this sometimes
Source?
Yeah here you go!
RL has been like that for a while
No, that’s the current trend here (Switzerland plains).
Same here in Slovenia. 15 years ago we had at least 30cm ofsnow each winter that would stuck 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.
I literally had to cite the page number from the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 Public Law 117-328 that covered how the $800M that Trump keeps telling everyone FEMA spent on migrants was a completely different fund than the disaster relief fund that FEMA uses for hurricanes. Which the DRF was established originally as it’s own fund in the Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988 Public Law 100-707
It’s page 4,730 where that item is located for anyone wondering.
I fucking hate what online interactions have become. I think I’ve easily read over 200,000 pages of government legislation, federal regulation, and legal proceedings since June because of the lies one orange shit stain keeps telling. I really do hope that the Republicans can move past that fucker, it was a lot easier to talk politics.
Because they want to exhaust the person engaging in a good faith discussion. It’s far more labor intensive to have to look for, find, verify for contextual correctness, quote and link said sources, then argue why one’s position is factually correct.
And all the other person has to do is cite some patently false bullshit in 5 seconds and disregard the argument.
MrFilmKritic on Twitter has the answer for you.
a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence
Prove it.
Lets not forget that it’s about more than just that person. It’s about the massive pile of data on the internet that will be read in the future and trawled for chatbot training.
Twitter is bad.
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
The hero we deserve.
Yeah, I decided this a couple years ago unless someone seems unusually reasonable. No source will ever be good enough. The block button is the best way forward for most people who ask for a source. Because you can tell most people think asking for one is “winning” as soon as it’s asked
I bet they saw the source and said “oh, yes, thank you for the source, I have updated my opinion based on this new information.”
The one on the right is a bearded 8 year old who never saw snow. He has a beard due to micro plastics. He thinks all pictures online of snow are AI generated. He’s also an asshole to everyone and rightfully so because his life and planet has been doomed. Welcome to 2034.
and his willy is 8 inches long but he’s insecure because his ai girlfriend told him its small
True neckbeards are born with it. It’s only the posers that get theirs by injecting PFAS into their balls.
The sources are released under a source-available license, you are legally prohibited from reading them
Or you can get a monthly subscription for only $39.9!
Well, then… At least we will have apparently made enough progress by then to have eliminated the penny from circulation.
That subscription allows you to ask the question to an AI that may or may not hallucinate.
Winter is on its way out due to climate change. In around the year 2100, it’s estimated that there will only be 3 seasons left, no winter. And summer will be much longer and much hotter. So the 3 seasons will be spring, then a 2-season long summer basically, then fall. That’s it.
But you can already see the disappearance of winter today because there’s much less snow and it’s much warmer than like 30 years ago. (Speaking for Germany)
Oh yeah if summers so great why hasn’t there be a summer II?
nah, we still have winter. i know this because it still gets dark.
we’ll still have four seasons: summer, hellfire, second summer, moist dark.
30 years ago we definitely had snow in winter. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But I remember playing in snow basically every winter as a kid. And I’m living in a very mild region of Germany. Now I’m considering all season tires (just for legal purposes) to not change wheels twice a year, since there is maybe some snow for one week in total.
Spoke with a guy this week who was born in the 30s. He said winter back then was much harder. Whole lakes or even rivers were frozen solid. I can’t imagine being able to walk to the other side of a major river…
I remember ice-skating every winter as a kid. Rivers were frozen over solid, too. Sometimes, there were two separate layers of ice on top of each other, each being several cm thick. It kind of went away in the late 90s. I guess everybody just thought the ice and snow would return someday. Now even snow has gotten really, really rare where I live.
Winter isn’t coming
I grew up in Ohio in the 1970s (which was admittedly a rough decade as far as cold weather was concerned). Generally, the first snowfall was some time in September and at some point in October the ground would be completely covered in snow and you wouldn’t see grass again until April. The snow wasn’t completely gone until May. So essentially it was six months of Winter, three months of Summer and a month and a half each for Spring and Fall. It is certainly not anything like that any more.
then a 2-season long summer basically, then fall. That’s it.
Like in the tropics, dry season and rain season. Or drought and flooding season of we’re unlucky.
“The sky is blue”
“No stupid that’s woke liberal propaganda Trump 2024”
What, you’re saying that the sky is owned by democrats now? Give sources, cause my sky is Republican Red! /S
(Infuriating TikTok voice:) “These red states are putting atmospheric additives in their coal plants to turn the sky red! Wow!”
