    I’ll wait until someone who knows just replies the answer to me, kthx. [sinks bait back down]

    And people will, too. People love sharing knowledge. Whether it be altruistic or self-affirming. Heck, I’ve necro-bumped stuff just to add some tid-bits, myself.

    A few months ago a Lemmy user stridently demanded sources for a comment I posted. Since he literally could have found the information with less effort by a Google search, I refused to do it for him. Other Lemmy users argued that I should be this dope’s reference librarian, and another guy actually did the Google search for him and posted the results.

    People are astoundingly lazy and even many Lemmy users want to be spoon-fed.
