    I wouldn’t call OP a jackass for not providing the source for a shitpost.

      providing source is good form in every context

        Sure, the source would have been nice. They’re not a jackass for not providing it though. Do you send the source every time you show a friend a meme?

          Yes, I do. In this case I think it’s vital to link to the source, since the meme make it look like this garbage was a real thing.

            Maybe they didn’t have the source. Again, we’re on the shitpost community. I think it’s unreasonable to call someone a jackass because they don’t research the sources for every meme that they find and shitpost. Especially when they’re a power-user like OP and post 30-some times a day.
