A few months ago a Lemmy user demanded sources for a comment I posted. Since they literally could have found the information with less effort by a Google search I refused to do it for them. Other Lemmy users argued that I should be this lazy dope’s reference librarian, and another idiot actually did the Google search and posted the results.
People are astoundingly lazy and even Lemmy users want to be spoon-fed.

It’s not about wanting information. It’s about dragging you into an endless, un-resolvable discussion.
In a debate, if you make a claim the onus to provide a source is on you; not the person you’re arguing with.
You’re a map person, not a terrain person, huh?
It was an easily found fact, documented in many places. Who said anything about a debate?
If its the first link on google, I usually just give them the lmgtfy link to make it clear that they are being lazy.
It was and I should have probably done the same.
