God this is everyone I know.
I have friends that will literally say something that they just plucked out their arse and when I have the audacity to question it, or even if worse attempt to find the answer online I’ll be called out for fact checking.
I’m dumbfounded like y’all just want to operate without facts and just say what you want and people should believe it?
Edit: To your point I think that no, they don’t care to know. The vast majority of people have zero curiosity and I find it weird. These are the same people that are bored all the time but seemingly do nothing.
They're satisfied with the picture of the world in their heads, and looking into things might prove it wrong and then they'd need to go through the effort of changing it, and that's a hassle, so they don't. And then you do, and make them do work, which is annoying.
It's why "don't shoot the messenger" needs to be a proverb instead of just common sense.
