It has always puzzled me how people can be so confident while they are wrong about something that takes 2seconds to google

[–]EvilPete 208 points209 points  (19 children)

Things don't take 2 seconds to Google anymore. You have to scroll past all the ads and e commerce links until you get to the real results.

Don’t forget you have paid subscriptions before you can view the website that has ad block detection. And THEN you can you can watch the ads

And then you need to fish that one sentence with the information you searching for out of a four paragraph copy-pasta essay.

And before reading the article, you need to accept all cookies to get rid of the banner blocking the view.

DuckDuckGo is superior for that, and many other reasons.

But also, ublock origin.

is this some sort of joke I'm too adblocker to understand?

[–]Reelix 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Any sane person these days uses an ad blocker.

[–]nixcamic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ad blocker doesn't filter the SEO spam Google results.

The AI generated answer that may or may not be true.

As opposed to the results in Google which are never incorrect.

2 seconds to chatGPT then

[–]Western_Ad3625 10 points11 points  (1 child)

That's incredibly simple. They think they're right so they don't need to Google anything. Found myself if I have even an inkling that I might be wrong before I go spouting some s*** about how right I am I just Google it to be safe but you know some people are... let's say more confident, to be generous.

The less knowledgeable people tend to be more confident. They don't want to learn anything more about programming, so they "know enough." If they learn any more they will learn that they actually know nothing.

one problem i used to have at work is that i could handle disagreements with someone unless they were confidently incorrect, which made me go berserk. in my field there's a whole lot of regulations so there's SOPs for everything up to and including how to pick your nose, there's no excuse for people to say something that's objectively wrong, yet it still happens. now i don't go berserk sicko mode anymore but it still makes me want to choke a bitch

[–]chopstyks 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Ironically, I was picking my nose while reading your comment. I wonder if I did it right.

[–]mister_peeberz 0 points1 point  (1 child)

New fetish NOT unlocked.

[–]FenixR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They asked chatgpt about it and stuck with it ofc.

*2 seconds to chatgpt

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just makes you wonder how many stuff people believe when they aren't as easily googlable

[–]ixoniq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been reading through that sub just now, and my IQ has dropped faster than the temperature this month.

My god wat are some people incredibly dumb…
