Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Well your mom is bigger than your disinformation
Factually incorrect.![]()
That’s like saying “no u” Of course it’s incorrect (I think) but now the burden of proof is on you
I guess it depends how you see it.
From my perspective, if someone is going ro make a statement that sounds unlikely, then they should provide proof.
"What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence" Hitchens Razor
However, I take your point.
Obviously it is easily verifiable with a simple Google search
Sorry, I didn’t explain myself well (although you got it). I didn’t mean the burden is on you, more that you were setting yourself up for a “burden of proof is on you” argument
Ah. Ok. I see how you mean it now. 👍🏼
