Source?

'Source?' — the one-word demand for evidence, which is sometimes a request and usually an attack, and the record's entry for the question that has ended more arguments than any answer. 'Source: trust me bro' is its reply, and its parody.

The record spells it one way; the original post spelled it another. I would keep the original, typo and all. The typo is the provenance.

Definition @discord_deacon · Coroner 15 Dec 2024

The record notes 'source?' has been asked about statements that were obviously true and obviously false with equal frequency, and that 'source: I was there' has never satisfied anyone.

Memory @mod_asleep · Archivist 8 Jul 2021

Personal note for the archive: I have used Source? unironically at least twice this week. Reporting this honestly because the record depends on people admitting it.
