Soo… since OP is a jackass, here’s the link: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/10697529/Prisoners-could-serve-1000-year-sentence-in-eight-hours.html

The gist (emphasis mine):

Philosopher Rebecca Roache […] said, […] “you could imagine developing a pill or a liquid that made someone feel like they were serving a 1,000-year sentence”

I can’t fathom why this is report-worthy. Was April 2014 such a boring month?

    I wouldn't call OP a jackass for not providing the source for a shitpost.

    providing source is good form in every context

    Sure, the source would have been nice. They're not a jackass for not providing it though. Do you send the source every time you show a friend a meme?

    Yes, I do. In this case I think it’s vital to link to the source, since the meme make it look like this garbage was a real thing.

    Maybe they didn't have the source. Again, we're on the shitpost community. I think it's unreasonable to call someone a jackass because they don't research the sources for every meme that they find and shitpost. Especially when they're a power-user like OP and post 30-some times a day.
