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.
