I still can't wrap my head around this. If you don't care whether or not the answer is true, why even bother asking in the first place?

It doesn't matter how trivial the question is. If it's worth asking, I want the right answer. If I didn't care, I wouldn't ask!

Not everything is a life or death situation. Nobody has time to verify all the sources on everything.

That isn't the point. Why are you asking the question in the first place? If you don't care whether the answer is true or not, you could just make up your own answer and save yourself some typing.

The type of questions I’m asking is “what’s are good add ons for oatmeal?” Just to get ideas.

Can you chill?

Asking that on google is a nightmare on a mobile device since every website seems to be made to crash every browser with how much crap they’re doing in the background.
