Comment on Plant Natives
Rodeo@lemmy.ca 9 months agoNo, it’s great advice, and if they can’t figure out to google “native flowers in my region” after that then they really are hopeless.
Why is the onus always 100% on the people trying to help, while the newbie gets a free pass on not putting in effort? Frankly if the newbie put some effort in they probably wouldn’t have even needed to make the post in the first place.
Of all the hobbies and random niche things I’ve taught myself on the Internet over the course of 15 years, I’ve only ever had post questions twice. Whatever question one is asking has already been asked and answered. Very, VERY rarely is someone looking for information so niche that it doesn’t yet exist on the Internet.

Have you ever tried to google a specific question like this about a topic you’ve never dipped your toes in? It’s impossible to start.

Yes, many times. You’re wrong, it’s perfectly possible, and I know because I’ve done it myself.
