Bro literally asks for "data to support this"
So I guess they wanted someone to say
And thats it
Because usually people looking for DATA would use the internet search function, NOT expect verbal responses which DO NOT constitute data
I dont understand all the idiots downvoting you because I wouldve done the same thing
You want data, search the web
You want anectdotes, talk on a forum
Its annoying when people expect to be spoonfed credible data on a forum rather than taking 5 seconds to find it themselves (and sharing it, imagine that, fucking utopic) instead of someone else spending double that time finding it and writing a comment with sources in reply (thats called spoonfeeding)
But hey here comes the airplane I guess
It blows my mind that people will take safety advice from a random comment, question it, and expect another random comment to clarify for them, especially in a platform as small as Lemmy. It's so alien a thought process to me that I can't understand it, but it makes it easier to see how misinformation spreads so easily.
"Hey, you seem to know something about this, is there anything specific I can look for to learn more instead of starting from zero?"
I searched "fire safety bedroom door shut" so I don't think they really needed any help.
They also had thoughts about it that they wanted feedback on.
I don't see a request for feedback. I see someone asking for data from a commenter, saying they were probably fucked either way, and hoping smoke detectors would help. The only request was for supporting data, and why would you trust "data" from a random commenter?
The second and third sentence are a clear request for feedback.
They're statements.
When people say, "man, the air in this room is bad", do you just go "yep"? Or do you open a window?
Uhhhhh, that is highly contextual. Am I on an airplane? Do the windows open? Is it my house?
