People are interested in sourcing of information in 2034? I see that as an absolute win.

[–] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (3 children)

People who make memes mocking the expectation of a source are the ones responsible for the downfall of society

I think it's totally reasonable to ask for a source about a historical claim if something hasn't been true for over a decade?

The one on the right is a bearded 8 year old who never saw snow. He has a beard due to micro plastics. He thinks all pictures online of snow are AI generated. He’s also an asshole to everyone and rightfully so because his life and planet has been doomed. Welcome to 2034.

True neckbeards are born with it. It's only the posers that get theirs by injecting PFAS into their balls.

@sharkfucker420 We would have flying cars and spaceships in future

The future:

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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.

@SlopppyEngineer Ok so define flying car? How is a flying car possible lol. Shape of car will be aerodynamic maybe

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

https://www.pal-v.com/ is one for example. Certified for road and air. You need a pilot license and a driving license. And it needs a short runway to take off or land. €499,000 excluding tax.

Winter is on its way out due to climate change. In around the year 2100, it's estimated that there will only be 3 seasons left, no winter. And summer will be much longer and much hotter. So the 3 seasons will be spring, then a 2-season long summer basically, then fall. That's it.

But you can already see the disappearance of winter today because there's much less snow and it's much warmer than like 30 years ago. (Speaking for Germany)

Winter isn't coming

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

then a 2-season long summer basically, then fall. That’s it.

Like in the tropics, dry season and rain season. Or drought and flooding season of we're unlucky.

[–] abcd@feddit.org 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

30 years ago we definitely had snow in winter. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But I remember playing in snow basically every winter as a kid. And I’m living in a very mild region of Germany. Now I’m considering all season tires (just for legal purposes) to not change wheels twice a year, since there is maybe some snow for one week in total.

Spoke with a guy this week who was born in the 30s. He said winter back then was much harder. Whole lakes or even rivers were frozen solid. I can’t imagine being able to walk to the other side of a major river…

[–] TheBrideWoreCrimson@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 month ago

I remember ice-skating every winter as a kid. Rivers were frozen over solid, too. Sometimes, there were two separate layers of ice on top of each other, each being several cm thick. It kind of went away in the late 90s. I guess everybody just thought the ice and snow would return someday. Now even snow has gotten really, really rare where I live.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 0 points 1 month ago

nah, we still have winter. i know this because it still gets dark.

we'll still have four seasons: summer, hellfire, second summer, moist dark.

I grew up in Ohio in the 1970s (which was admittedly a rough decade as far as cold weather was concerned). Generally, the first snowfall was some time in September and at some point in October the ground would be completely covered in snow and you wouldn't see grass again until April. The snow wasn't completely gone until May. So essentially it was six months of Winter, three months of Summer and a month and a half each for Spring and Fall. It is certainly not anything like that any more.

I literally had to cite the page number from the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 Public Law 117-328 that covered how the $800M that Trump keeps telling everyone FEMA spent on migrants was a completely different fund than the disaster relief fund that FEMA uses for hurricanes. Which the DRF was established originally as it's own fund in the Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988 Public Law 100-707

It's page 4,730 where that item is located for anyone wondering.

I fucking hate what online interactions have become. I think I've easily read over 200,000 pages of government legislation, federal regulation, and legal proceedings since June because of the lies one orange shit stain keeps telling. I really do hope that the Republicans can move past that fucker, it was a lot easier to talk politics.

I bet they saw the source and said "oh, yes, thank you for the source, I have updated my opinion based on this new information."

[–] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 0 points 1 month ago (6 children)

MrFilmKritic on Twitter has the answer for you.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I decided this a couple years ago unless someone seems unusually reasonable. No source will ever be good enough. The block button is the best way forward for most people who ask for a source. Because you can tell most people think asking for one is "winning" as soon as it's asked

Because they want to exhaust the person engaging in a good faith discussion. It’s far more labor intensive to have to look for, find, verify for contextual correctness, quote and link said sources, then argue why one’s position is factually correct.

And all the other person has to do is cite some patently false bullshit in 5 seconds and disregard the argument.

Guilty. Show me the almanac. I don’t trust nobody on the internet. Everybody speaks like they’re an expert.

The sources are released under a source-available license, you are legally prohibited from reading them

[–] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Or you can get a monthly subscription for only $39.9!

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

That subscription allows you to ask the question to an AI that may or may not hallucinate.

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago

Well, then... At least we will have apparently made enough progress by then to have eliminated the penny from circulation.

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

Ah a brand new cycle in the Matrix simulation. I hope in the next one, we catch Jeffrey Dahmer. and the James Cameron Avatar films doesn't suck.

Cool meme.

Source?

[–] Fleur_@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

The evil version of this is when people cite a click bait article, you go to the article and read the attached study and the study is not backing up their claims in any meaningful way. Like come on bro you clearly haven't read this study don't cite it and claim I need to educate myself.

"Do you have a source?" means, "I already know you are wrong but you won't believe me unless you find out for yourself."

Let's not vilify people asking for citations. With AI it's more important than ever to verify what you're reading.
