And that's the same person who makes wild absurd claims but well just go off the rails and tell you to do your own research

If somebody would ask for a source it would already be a big improvement. Usually you are just classified as idiot if you dare to have a different view.

@sharkfucker420 We would have flying cars and spaceships in future

The future:

That's a bit unfair. You can actually buy a flying car today. A few companies recently got their vehicle fully certified and are doing commercial sales. It's not cheap. If you can't afford a second Ferrari don't bother.

The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed.

Family Member: Russia needs to invade Ukraine because they need a shield against NATO.

Me: But NATO wasn't going to attack them. It's a defensive organization.

That's what THEY want you to believe. (Was not able to clarify who "they" were during conversation, but got the impression it wasn't nato)

It's gotten to a point where I just go ahead append a warning that I have no source and am just making casual conversation.

Source: my previous comment on Lemmy.

I rather have a source to support a claim instead of "but it's how I feel so it's real! Scientists don't know anything, stop debunk my feelings with facts because I know I'm right! I read it on Facebook!"

We need more reliable and supported sources and less fake news.

You get people who believe jet contrails only started appearing in the 90s even though that they didn’t is literally within living memory.

Isn’t 2034 when we start 1970 again? Except without water.
