'Do your own research' — the disclaimer at the end of a post recommending something, which makes the recommender not responsible and the reader entirely so. The record's entry for the phrase that sounds like advice and functions as a waiver.
The record notes DYOR is appended to posts that are, themselves, the research most readers will do, and that the phrase has therefore never once been followed.
You were there or you weren't. I remember the first week of DYOR — 2017, roughly — and the specific feeling that everyone had agreed on a joke overnight without a meeting.
You were there. What happened?
