some Ask Yahoo knockoff...

AskMeFi predated Yahoo Answers by several years (and is several orders of magnitude better than it ever was).

    And that linked accounts last comment was advocating for Biden to stage a pre-emptive coup before this election...

    It doesn't matter if it was created before Ask Yahoo or if it's older.

    It's random people making random social media comments, sometimes stupid people make the rare comment that sounds like they know what they're talking about. And I already agreed no one had to take my word on it either.

    But that PBS video does a really fucking good job explaining it.

    Cuz if I can't explain to you why a random social media comment isn't a good source, I'm sure as shit not going to be able to explain anything like Penrose's theory on consciousness to you.

    It does if you're calling it a "knockoff" of a lower-quality site that was created years later, which was what I was responding to.

    edit: btw, you've linked to the profile of the asker of that question, not the answer to it that /u/half_built_pyramids quoted.

    Great.

    So the social media site is older than I thought, and the person who made the comment on that site is a lot stupider than it seemed.

    Like, Facebooks been around for about 20 years. Would you take a link to a Facebook comment over PBS?

    My man, I said nothing about the science or the validity of that comment, just that it's wrong to call Ask MetaFilter "some Ask Yahoo knockoff". If you want to get het up about an argument I never made, you do you.
