    The scientists didn’t pick the headline. An editor – who I assure you knows nothing about Earth sciences – picked it, for maximum clickbait.

      I read the article. Anyone who just reads headlines these days are more or less dumb. You should know I read it since I could tell you that scientists were quoted in the article… But I guess that went over your head. The point is ultimately that youtube shorts isn’t an accurate rebuttal to anything unless the person in the video is a direct source… And in this case you’ve validated they’re not.

        Sure thing homie. I just wanted to clear up a common misconception. But if you wanna take a stand about properly citing first-party sources in memes@lemmy.ml, then you do you I guess.

          See… if you actually read my comment. It was a complaint that people upvoted a tiktok like video rather than an actual article that contained proper resources. Pointing out that people would rather prefer a bubbly personality rather than actually understanding it.

          But you know… you do you I guess.
