Bots farming engagement, huh just like this one!
haha I'm actually a student, our professor wants us to ask questions and study stuff about lemmy and I just chose a random popular question from reddit
Ugh, I didn't even think to check, but that's a pretty bare history. I've noticed some shitty questions lately, like the generic reddit drivel the other day about 'what do you miss about pre-internet?'
I prefer these questions than anyone going here and thinking people have all of the answers to the freaking universe. I mean there's instances where you could go for those kinds of questions, but because people are obliviously lazy, they wound up here.
Why do you come here to ask us whether or not you think you're an asshole in a scenario involving people we don't know and we expect to understand your life's story?
Why do you come here asking us twenty tech support questions that could've easily been answered with google searches?
Why do you come here asking us something with the context of something only you would know?
It's greatly insulting, mind-numbing and uninteresting to even entertain a single question of those.
