It is a tale as old as time.

Is this thing still on Reddit? If so, tell me about it

Laziness. How about a TIL or FYI post in the community one was going to ask the easily answered question? Ya know, for others who may be wondering the same thing? Adding to the discourse of a community? Actually contributing something?

Naw. I’m going to have someone else do it for me. Can you back that up with studies or other primary sources? I’m having a hard time believing you.

Thaaaaanks!

This really drive me crazy when they ask for factual questions like "How tall is Mt Everest?" or similar. When you call them out they always have the same excuse "I don't want a search engine answer I want to know what other people think" but its not an opinion question! It doesn't matter what anyone thinks the height of Mt Everest is.

I don't know how to understand this except as extremely laziness.

I feel like some of the frequent daily lazy question posters are playing a game to see just how many lazy questions they can get other people to look up for them.
