Sometimes real people can give you better information than a google search. Or it's nice to know another persons opinion.
ManDonkey
I think they're usually just looking to start a discussion with other people. At least if their questions aren't dumb.
MougliJoe
someone i know asked "whats today's date" via a facebook status, yes she was 100% serious
AFormerPotheadsOpinion
Sometimes the person is asking for opinions by which google cannot produce many of
Ibbock
How did this make front page? It's so damn ignorant.

Blah blah ass out of u and me
CreepyDouche
I assume you're all fucking idiots.
ThatsWhatSheSed
We all are, though. Except me, of course.
ThatsWhatSheSed
You're so brave. Thank you for bearing your soul to us with that confession
memberwar
yet if you reference front page news, you'll get a bunch of kids on imgur with the word that makes them proudest: "SOURCE?"
nipplepanties
I do my research then reach out "has anyone experienced or had insight on..."etc. I assume as much for others.
juffowup00
Sometimes I just like asking people and have a conversation, so fucking sorry bout that
jakeanbake420
Mother fuckers ask how to unboil water lol
tomhark
some of us are just lazy.
ReaperNo1
Like he said, probably stupid. It's exactly the same amount of work to type it into Google as it is Facebook/Imgur/whatever.
tomhark
but you have to open a whole new tab. come on now.
itsbry
Or its specific enough that Google searches turn up ambiguity? But I'm with ya...
FerrousBuehler
Pretty safe to assume
dejavutoyoutoo
One shouldnt assume. It makes an ass out of u and me.
FerrousBuehler
Unless you are correct on your assumption and OP couldn't be more right
Katabella
Asking searchable questions is generally how I start conversations
jayelgee
I would probably judge you, but hey, if it works, more power to you!
AlwaysCorrect
Yeah, I'd rather not look shit up on my phone every two seconds.
crazyassredneck
To me, they already know the answer. They just want attention.
LilSis061016
worse: posting memes that can be refuted with a 2min google search
zachwhack
How DARE someone ask a question to another human!
Gingerfringe
Yeah Fuck them!
ehnayehn
Are they asking for facts or opinions? If it's a pure facts question, they're probably being stupid or lazy.
Gingerfringe
Yeah Fuck Them!
Saumius
Letmegooglethatforyou is great for that
seanvt
Or depending on the question, they want somebody's input that had experience with whatever their question was about.
DoomSkuller
every "and at this point I'm afraid to ask" meme ever
ugunaeatdat
Or lazy
mortinec
I would ask questions on social media to start a conversation. The social part of social media.
whatupmyknitters
it's why that LMGTFY response is always soooo dickish

"Someone made a thread for this topic 3 years ago, your answer is there", go to it: dead links in the solution
kukupuff
Absolutely. Also it's interesting how different people break down and disseminate information. Might as well start wolith info from a poster
kukupuff
*with, sorry.
Threns
Exactly, sometimes you need a specific sequence of words/ideas to really get a concept. Canned responses suck for a variety of reasons.

anActualHumanPerson
They built in a URL shortener. It's even better now.

I use it daily.
ParanoidWithGoodCause
all questions can be answered with a google search but how useful the answer given IS varies. sometimes you need to check with other humans
jakeanbake420
I don't think that's what this post is covering lol
FerrousBuehler
Not too many robots writing things to posted on the internet
Dracosi
I ask other people cause I like connotative first, and then google to back it up.
pronoun
I think he's talking about annoying one's like is 'who is that,' when there's a full name attached.
ParanoidWithGoodCause
yeah but who are they really on the inside?
OBIJUANKENOBl
As someone who works in customer service. No you don't. Please feel free to google that shit before emailing or asking me on social haha.
Rogahar
I often have science-y questions. My older brother is in a science-y field and can "ELI5" almost anything for me. Helps a lot. :D
iRchickenz
Then call him
Rogahar
Getting hold of him by phone is a challenge in itself. Leaving him a message on FB is far more likely to get a reply. :P Even if it comes >

Don't lie to yourself. You do it for attention. Wikipedia or WebMD wont like your status, ask you things or start an argument.
whatupmyknitters
what's everyone got against a person who wants some attention? "you want people to notice and interact with you? fuck you!" or something.
Gingerfringe
It seems strange. Oh fuck human interaction! Like, what?
ParanoidWithGoodCause
yeah but you can also get answers other than terminal mega-cancer
celestiaequestria
google results have been wrecked by volume, for gardening, I wouldn't trust the internet outside of a message board full of old ladies
ParanoidWithGoodCause
I said you'd get an answer I didn't say that answer would have any value, in fact I implied it would be of dubious merit at best
memberwar
imgur's favorite question, by which you can identify any 14 year old trying to sound smart: "SOURCE?"
