who has hit the most home runs in the World Series? >

Just Yahoo! it, man. >

I'm going to ask jeeves! >

Infoseek it. >

Funny how even in this joke thread, no one says Bing it lol >

I've resorted to using this on people who have no real interest in looking at my proof anyway. Too many times I've done the research and provided the evidence to the person only for them to ignore it, misunderstand it, or read the first sentence and start arguing again. At that point, I just tell them to Google it themselves since I'm not going to waste more energy if they won't meet me in the middle. >

schools really done screwed up by calling it "research" when you just look up the actual research that someone else did and paraphrase it. >

What's the difference between that and say.... doing the exact same thing but out of an encyclopedia? >

The biggest difference is that the info in the encyclopedia is static and likely wrong, given enough time. Outside of basic facts that are unlikely to change. >

Right, so it's even worse than googling yet it's considered research. >

not so much anymore, but in that transition time when we all still had encyclopedias, and the internet search was becoming a common thing, the peer reviewed set of bound knowledge was more trustworthy than the random page you found that could have been written by literally anyone. >

I think it’s lazy for people to not just google it and do the work themselves when i tell them to google it. 
I understand that peoples preferences could get different results but not that different. And they may have to do a little digging or fine tune their queries but the same information I find is available for everyone.
Having said that if somebody challenges me I will often provide links to articles and they can either follow the links or not. >

I love googling stuff mid-discussion. If something sounds just slightly unbelievable in a discussion, I'll grab my phone and google it.
People sometimes get offended by that and I don't understand why. If you're so sure about your point just use the "I told you so" afterwards.
Some people will go on to a tirade about me not "trusting them". Obviously I'll trust you if it's inside your field of expertise, if I know you studied it. But if you don't study the behavior of moose or orcas like hell I'll just blindly believe that orcas are a natural preditor of mooses. >

If you ask me some stupid ass question like why are bananas yellow I will tell you to Google it. But if it's something spesific about my area of expertise, I would be happy to help. >

Stupid is a relative term. But seriously, why are they yellow? >

what would you expect them to be? green? imagine that! how absurd! >

Can you imagine if they were blue? Pure insanity >

Have you ever seen a blue waffle? >

I don’t believe I have, I’ll look it up after work.
Edit: Ayo wtf? >

That's an old school internet trick lol, right up there with lemon party >

It depends really. If you're having a debate with someone, then 'Google it' is not really a great argument, but sometimes people ask a question that would take 2 seconds to Google for the answer. >


but sometimes people ask a question that would take 2 seconds to Google for the answer.

you mean the "just asking questions" side >

"I'm just asking easily answerable questions with no intent on listening to the answer" >

Google en passant >

Holy heck >

“Source?”
“Lists 10 sources proving my argument”
“I’m not reading all of that, oh and my point still stands” >

Either that or,
*Lists one article from someone who has no relevant experience in the field*
"Oh, so you didn't actually research this, you just posted based off of one biased article." >

I'd change this to "google is your friend" >

Or "let me google that for you". >

Precisely >

Cuz this is reddit on I'm not gonna write a explanation for something you can just google >

Based on your spelling, punctuation & grammar, it’s not shocking you’re one of the people the OP is complaining about. >

bro stfu? ppl talking informally online =/= illiteracy??? like i can type like this
Or I can be an asshole and type like you. >

If you type like that reddit, you’ve got to be prepared for ppl to @ you.  Using correct grammar doesn’t make you an asshole. >

using correct grammar doesn’t make you an asshole, i agree
but they literally say “because of the way you type, you’re the ignorant kind of person OP is talking about”
so all i meant was having good grammar on stupid posts online is not equivalent to someone’s intelligence nor can you base anything off the way they type. i change the way i type all the time. business emails? i’ll have good grammar 
posts on reddit? hell naw nun dat >

I don’t know, strawberriangel…I read that and can’t help but think you’re either really young, or a little uneducated.  Unless you typed it that way to make a point…?
