I hate when I say "ok google these exact words and it'll be this exact result because commenting a link doesn't work" and I get told i'm lying like ????

If you made the claim then you can and should share the source. “I just know” doesn’t help others learn like sharing a real source does

I’m just saying sometimes if the information is widely available enough you can do the two seconds of work to google it

Yes but even then I think you, the person making a claim, should take those two seconds to look it up and send a source. It can only help provide legitimacy to your claim and help educate folks. Failing to do so honestly provides cover for folks who have no real source to share

Devils advocate here but I wouldn’t be surprised if that just has to do with google changing results based on the user, I’m sure they do that
