Upvote/Downvote/likes is the cancer that ruined it all. Before that one actually had to speak in support or against any given ideas. Now people can assume anything is true/false based on an arbitrary engagement number.

1·19 hours ago90% of the time I’m only looking for advice on a single aspect. How long to cook X at Y? Can I put X in Y? List required ingredients. etc.
Just makes sense to add gemini to the search and get the answer I’m looking for immediately.

11·6 days agoThe region known as Palestine was part of the Ottoman empire for 400 years until being occupied by the British post WW1. As such drawing a straight line between Abraham and the current occupation/genocide is complete bullshit
In 1878 there were only 15K jews making up 3% of the population. By 1914 that number increased to 58,000 (15%) due to the Zionist movement which was bolstered by a British Mandate.
While the winners of WW2 divided their territorial spoils, they mandated the 2 state solution, triggering a civil war in 1947. During this civil war Israel, with western support, drove 85% of Palestinians into the Egypt and Jordan controlled Gaza Strip and West Bank.
It was during the 1967 “6 day war” that Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza strip… again driving thousands out of their homes.

2·6 days agoThe TLDR is that no one source covers everything or is correct on everything. You’ll need to combine quality reporting (listed below) with your own fact checking such as cross verifying where stories are sourced; or researching topics on your own through wikipedia/etc. (Chat GPT won’t be reliable for this fyi)
