On a website most people make posts that are barely two sentences…
It never surprises me how often people bitch that I didn’t cover ever single facet of an issue after typing paragrpaghs.
Like, my comments are already usually long enough people don’t read it all, but I still always get these (incredible short) comments mad that I didn’t spend two hours writing and sources my social media comments.
However it’s not merely transmitting information. The manner in which one speaks, what words one chooses, attention to detail, et cetera.
If people commented on my style of driving on a regular basis, I’d say least entertain the idea that there was something about it I could improve upon.
Your former comment beside the point because that served as an example.
This comment is besides the point as I didn’t claim that the people would be correct, but that it would serve as a reason in order to entertain the idea that three might be something could be ameliorated about the style of communicating/driving/whatever.
If a couple of people told you your breath smelled, you’d probably check, just in case, no?
Imagine thinking summarizing quantum mechanics to dogs is the equivalent to summarizing the Revolutionary War to Lemmy users. We’re all people here, and I promise you there isn’t such an intellect difference you need to dumb it down that much.
You’re unfair, inaccurate, misleading, and biased in your explanation of what happened while attempting to sound authoritative, that’s why you’re criticized.
If anyone actually wants some light reading on some of the the complex reasons the Colonies rebelled that isn’t such crude reductionism;
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townshend_Acts
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Tea_Party
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intolerable_Acts
Intolerable Acts is the most interesting read imo.

If you always get that kind of comment, maybe you have a habit of phrasing things in an unnuanced manner
If I tried to explain quantum mechanics to my dog, it wouldn’t matter how good of a job I did.
And even if Roger Penrose or another expert spent years, they’d get the same result.
So it’s just a question of how much time someone is willing to spend on a task almost guaranteed to fail.
Like going into details in the hopes every idiot online understands every part of what you said.
Of course communication is a two way street.

Depends where you are. If you are on Itsly or Portugal the people commenting on your driving style would probably be in the wrong.
That’s a bit besides the point.
Not really, the point being “the fact that many people share an opinion does not make that opinion correct”.
