    Typing a query in to Google is faster than making a post on Reddit and yet people still wanted you to do it for them. I never posted “have you tried Google?”, or anything like that, but lmgtfy links were always a fun option.

      I just ignore questions that I’m not interested in answering.

      The other day, someone asked in the Linux community here on Lemmy why people don’t like Ubuntu. It seems someone asks this question every few months. I thought, “I’ve answered several times, I’m done answering it, let someone else take care of it.” Last I saw it had over 100 comments, so I feel the issue is resolved.

        Fair enough. I definitely do that too, sometimes you can also link the post of when the question was last asked.

      I think you replied to the wrong comment. This one is where you DO Google it and the first result is a reddit thread where the top comment is “Google it dumbass”
