Soo… since OP is a jackass, here’s the link: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/10697529/Prisoners-could-serve-1000-year-sentence-in-eight-hours.html

The gist (emphasis mine):

Philosopher Rebecca Roache […] said, […] “you could imagine developing a pill or a liquid that made someone feel like they were serving a 1,000-year sentence”

I can’t fathom why this is report-worthy. Was April 2014 such a boring month?

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.

It’s older than that if you want to cite fiction

Which someone saying “maybe one day we can” is

This philosopher hack has also written about eugenic BS aimed at sculpting humanity to have a smaller carbon footprint. I'm ok with op not actually linking to her crap.

lol and its only a few paragraphs long. Coulda tried harder, Rhiannon Williams...
