Thank you kindly for the links, I was just about to search for the Manchester Bombing, if I’m being honest I thought “The Troubles” was the name of a book or movie. I didn’t realize they gave such a non-chillant name to such a bloody conflict. Suddenly the meme makes sense though!
What exactly in the above sentence would have suggested to the average person that they should Google search the troubles?
Or are you saying any time I see a nonsensical sentence I should just stop what I’m doing and google search the whole thing?

Well, I am still under the - maybe naive - impression that people understand context.
If one user writes about “The Troubles” (capitalised), and another mentions “the Manchester blast”, my expectation was that a person is able to put 2 and 2 together and google “The Troubles Manchester blast” at the very least.
Do people no longer know how to google things?

It tends to attract negative attention if you admit there’s a civil war going on.
In the future, we’ll look back sadly on the current Times of Greatness.
According to the White House - this is the “Golden Age”.
I love how he says trillions of dollars without a fucking shred of proof.

They never really did.
Also I never really used Google. I am a duckduckgo or brave search or even startpage type of guy.
Just FYI - Startpage is also using Google’s search index, so you’re kind of also “googling”.
Probably why I dont really use it. Duckduckgo and brave.
In general, there are two main search indexes: Google’s and Bing’s, with a bunch of smaller ones here and there.
DDG uses Bing and Yahoo, mainly. Their own index is relatively small.
Brave says they use their own index.
Brave is also just google/chrome in another packaging.
Still a lot more private. It isn’t the same.
