Don't be a dick. If you want to be negative that's fine, but be prepared with a litany of sources.
If I'm going to be wrong, I'd rather know I'm being wrong, so I like when people add sources
I try not to be negative, and most stuff I would argue about that needs a source, the source could be found in 3 seconds or less, depending on your internet speed.
Nobody cares about sources literally anywhere, that's not how brains work and in fact may increase hostility in many cases. Human brains are not rational machines.
Just make sure you're actually funny.
Just because it doesn't work doesn't mean we shouldn't normalize it.
I generally agree with offering sources; I just wanted to add a funny.
