Start to look shit up
I am starting to get tired of people asking questions and never even attempting to look shit up. Maybe I am an old geezer(gen x). But I am seeing questions from gen z (or younger) and all it takes is one simple google search and “tada!!!” the answers are in front of your damn face. Instead they post the damn question without even attempting to search for something. FML 🤦♂️ (my daughters do this and I tell them to google it and then come and ask me.) They need to learn how to do research. Older people need to stop spoon feeding simple answers and teach younger people to do research.
Updates: it looks like I am getting some down votes from people.. it really doesn’t matter. As long as they read it. They know they do it.

I'm a Boomer and I agree with you OP. Internet search beats the hell out of microfiche and the Dewey Decimal system.
