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.

It’s not about wanting information. It’s about dragging you into an endless, un-resolvable discussion.
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.
In a debate, if you make a claim the onus to provide a source is on you; not the person you’re arguing with.
It was an easily found fact, documented in many places. Who said anything about a debate?
You’re a map person, not a terrain person, huh?
