Thing is anyone posting stuff like this DGAF about any sources.

I get where you’re coming from, but unless you’re saying “Source?” just to troll them back there isn’t any real expectation of a good faith response.

You don't need to provide sources for common knowledge, you need to provide sources to disprove it.

No.

If you make a statement of fact then you need to be able to back it up with objective facts.

If you can’t, then it’s called opinion

And a second asbsolutelyfuckingnot. Why?

Because there is a torrent of utter bullshit posted online every day. The burden to prove it’s bullshit should not be placed on the recipient of the information. Why, again? Because it’s easy to flood everything with bullshit and takes effort to disprove. You cannot allow people to make statements without facing the burden of proving their position, otherwise nobody is going to be checking anything and the bullshitters win.
