Hook a Brotherrrrr up! Wtf?

You can tell this is an old meme because it's been a long time ago when Google had good answers for your questions.

Try anything but Google. Not only do their results suck now, they are evil to boot.

Still way better results them any other search engine.
- Maybe, if you don't care about privacy or ethics. I don't have any trouble using other engines and finding what I want.

This is certified antique because Google used to give you decent results, maybe even some obscure but highly specialised website dedicated to nothing but your question. Nowadays, you'll get so much AI slop that you might as well go back to the pre-internet days, ask your uncle, and just believe whatever misinformation he gives you.

Block the AI allucinated answers if you don't want to die for food poisoning or something like that.

You can also use Duck Duck Go (And disable the AI function in the menu).

DDG is also getting worse, AI answers or no.

I like to interact with people by asking questions that can be looked up easily because I need the dopamine it gives when I get that little notification number in my inbox

Fuck relying on corporations for anything including information. I'd rather just rely on the people I know.

One of the reasons I'm not really friends with a dude is he'd ask questions, I'd go look up the answers, and then he wouldn't read them.
Eventually I was like, "if I go look this up are you going to read it? Or ask follow up questions?"
He was like, "is it going to be bite sized?"
I said, "I don't think I can answer your complicated politics and history question in a way that's all of fast complete and accurate."
He admitted no. He wasn't going to engage further. So I stopped looking stuff up for him, and we don't talk much anymore.
- Sorry to hear that, I empathize with you there. The process of friend selection can be a tough one. Sucks he only wanted your research abilities, but that means they must be pretty good!
  But yeah that would drive me insane. Feeling ignored or silenced is one of the shittiest things, I wouldn't keep someone like that around either.

Yes, screw human interaction! /s

Right? lmgtfy has always been kinda rude. But much more so now, when talking to a human on the Internet is getting harder, and search engines barely work. If you don't know you can just ignore it or say that you don't know.
Or best case, you can use seemingly dead-end questions to further the conversation. "Oh, I just looked it up and I'm surprised to see it's actually ___. Now that makes me wonder ___."
