Meet SAM, the bricklaying robot.

Boooooooo.

....yet.

I found a good trick was to set your clock ahead an hour. That way you're only 30 minutes late.

The bigger news to me is that Howard Stern is still alive and on the air.

What's all this about trout now? Are trout the new beans?

Like the old fucks would vote for us instead of other old fucks

Oh hey that was a nice article you shared to source your information.

Yeah it's getting pretty uncivil in these comments. Sorry, op, comments are getting locked.

Cute photo though, it's an old school meme.

I like to think of it not as a prank, but a promise.

I dunno, my dude. That's still quite a reach to go from a simple question to automatically determining that it's a hatchet job.

I'm not saying you're wrong, just that you're assuming a lot more than I normally works from a singular question.

There's a significant difference between the two questions in your first sentence: quality of verifiability. The goal here is to determine accuracy anyways. Asking that directly will never get you an answer that you should accept at face value.

If I ask "is this accurate?", any sourceless responses lack weight. "yes" holds as much proof as "no."

But "has anyone heard of this" is a much lower barrier of veracity. Answers themselves won't determine the accuracy of the article, just whether or not anyone can help establish credibility.

It's important to question and verify sources, no matter who it is. Criticizing someone who does makes you no better than anyone pushing propaganda.

1. cute kitty, nice photo!
2. sorry for your loss, op.
3. what kind of asshole downvotes these kinds of posts and comments?!?

What is a problem is fake news.

Indeed. That's why that user asked the simple question. They're trying to determine the veracity of the information from that website.

Bias and factuality are different concepts. One source can print wildly biased, yet probably true information. While another can provide absolutely unbiased disinformation.

I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and wait a couple hours for a response. If I hear nothing, this gets removed.

What exactly is your goal here? Why are you sharing this?

Yes, Tom. Horrible.

That looks delicious, nicely done!

They're definitely a naughty one. It's in their nature.

Bambi fucked everyone up at that age.

Brilliant. Someone needs to shop Cousin It from Addam's Family onto the right side to make this a masterpiece.
