noun /ˈæn.ti-rɪˈsɜːtʃ grəˈneɪd/
An object thrown at a person to distract them from the important research they should be doing.
An anti-research grenade should be something irresistibly interesting to a person. It is usually tailored to the persons specific interests. For example you may toss a small puzzle to a fan of riddles and games, or you may toss a light saber pen to a fan of Star Wars.
The victim must be doing research at the time of deployment, or the anti-research grenade will be ineffective.
A successful anti-research grenade should render the victim completely unable to perform any sort of productive activity.
An anti-research grenade is not something that the victim will be forced to spend time on, such as an open container of spaghetti. It should be something that the victim will willingly choose to spend time on so that the blame for their inactivity will ultimately fall upon the victim.

I threw a toy car with magnets on the bottom at Aaron and yelled, "anti-research grenade!" It was super effective.

A crucial lawyering skill best taught at high altitudes, in the foggy mountains of East Asia, by an unremittingly cruel and forbidding sensei. The pupil should be forced to subsist only on a diet of insects and tree bark, must punch out memos until his or her fingers bleed, and must learn to live without sleep -- permanently. Whenever the pupil makes a mistake, he or she must be severely beaten with a Bluebook to the point of unconsciousness.
The training will culminate in a series of near-impossible tests, which may or may not involve the following: fighting rabid panda bears; swimming across a mighty river while carrying a boulder; interviewing pretend clients; retrieving a precious jewel from each of the 94 Federal judicial districts; dueling a demon to the death; and solving ancient riddles.

An aphorism intended to be used by any intellectual to tell someone to get to know their subject better before spreading outright BS.
Unfortunately, the phrase has more often than not been abused by internet trolls, zealots and narcissists as a hilariously hypocritical thought-terminating cliché. If used by trolls, they will go even further and link the same exact sources that you would have used against them, thereby deliberately angering you even more.
This phrase can also be used satirically, facetiously or sarcastically. In this case that is totally fine.

Troll: I can't wait till that new Xperia phone comes out! I love that they are using a 144hz display.

User 1: I did and you are wrong. Trolling?? LMFAO hypocrite.
