Common misconception, you actually did.

They had the answer on Yahoo! Answers. 😢

Anime source?

Edit: nvm, found it.

Actual edit: Apparently I'm slow with the joke. K-On! Manga about high school music club.

Im finding this more prevalent now as ai can answer a lot of the questions hence other people are getting solutions without the need to ask. Then my ai has problems cos it googles the answer and has to make shit up and idk if its hallucinating or not.

The worst is windows always giving "unknown error" with a code, and when you google the code you try stuff for like an hour just for every website you check to be useless, and at the end you just needed to put a password on the other computers file share, but why would it tell you that?

Or when you're having a problem with a piece of accounting software that nobody has ever had, so you call in for phone support, and they've never had it, but they can reproduce it on their side, find a solution, and thank you very much for letting them know.

Ohh I had a similar experience with a quite big open source project (~10k stars on GitHub). Posted an issue, it's obscure enough even the lead maintainer comes in to help and still got stuck unable to fix the issue.

Somebody has to be the first one.

More like when you Google and half the solutions you find contradict themselves, with some of the responses to the solutions discussing the dangers.
