You understand that there are a lot of people alive before the internet existed, right? And if this person is relating a story from their childhood, and they’re anywhere over like 35 years old, us old people couldn’t just “go on the internet”.

    And even if you did go on the internet, there wouldnt be any answer to the prompt "does chewing salad risk splitting atoms" on yahoo or altavista. The search engines where not "smart" enough to parse deeper in the question nor where there enough "random trivia" answers online
