The Inner Monologue

Ah, humanity—the species that put a man on the moon, invented the internet, and then decided the best use of that technology was to ask their Facebook friends, “What time does McDonald’s stop serving breakfast?” instead of typing those exact words into Google like a functioning adult.

Let’s be clear: There are no stupid questions. Only stupid question-askers.

“Hey, Does Anyone Know…?” – No, and Neither Do You, Apparently

Why do people insist on crowdsourcing answers to questions that could be solved in less time than it takes to read the resulting incorrect replies?

• “What’s the weather like today?” – My dude, your phone has a whole app dedicated to this. It’s called “Weather.” It even has pictures!
• “How do I reset my password?” – The same way you reset your dignity after asking this: by clicking “Forgot Password” like the rest of us.
• “Is [obscure fact] true?” – Wow, if only there were a magical box where you could type words and have it spit back knowledge. Oh wait. It’s called a search engine.

The Social Media Paradox: Trusting Strangers Over Algorithms

Here’s the kicker: When you ask the internet, you get:
✅ Immediate answers
✅ Verified sources (if you’re not terrible at Googling)
✅ No judgment (unless you’re on Reddit)

When you ask Facebook, you get:
❌ Your uncle’s conspiracy theory
❌ Some rando confidently giving wrong information
❌ At least one person saying “Let me Google that for you” with a passive-aggressive link

And yet, people persist. Why? Because deep down, they don’t want answers. They want attention.

The Solution? Let Me Google That For You (Literally)

Next time you’re tempted to ask a question that starts with “Does anyone know…” or “Quick question…”, do this instead:

1. Open a search engine.
2. Type the exact thing you were going to ask.
3. Boom. You’re now smarter than 90% of your social circle.

If you still feel the urge to ask publicly, at least have the decency to preface it with: “I’m too lazy to Google this, so…”

At least then we’ll know you’re self-aware.

Final Thought: The only stupid question is the one you asked out loud when the answer was literally at your fingertips the whole time.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go reply to someone’s post asking, “What year did World War II start?” with a link to LMGTFY.
