    So nothing related to earth sciences at all… Thanks! I’ll trust the people who are actually specialized scientists that are quoted in the article then.

      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.
