You get people who believe jet contrails only started appearing in the 90s even though that they didn’t is literally within living memory.

I’ve definitely noticed people who challenge anything you say by asking for a source, but make tons of unsourced claims themselves.

Hashtag Rule’34

I rather have a source to support a claim instead of “but it’s how I feel so it’s real! Scientists don’t know anything, stop debunk my feelings with facts because I know I’m right! I read it on Facebook!”

We need more reliable and supported sources and less fake news.

I think it’s totally reasonable to ask for a source about a historical claim if something hasn’t been true for over a decade?
