Get the Amazon echo mug.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.

John: Eyy bro! Glad we could meet up at the mall. Wait, where's your mask?
Robbie: Eh I forgot it at home, but I figured I wouldn't get covid anyway cause I got the vaccine. Besides there's not many people here.
John: Bro wtf? Do you not know what the masks are really for? Please do your research man.
▼Incorrect/Malevolent Usage▼
Troll: I can't wait till that new Xperia phone comes out! I love that they are using a 144hz display.
User 1: Are you joking? It states everywhere that the display is 120hz, not 144hz.
Troll: Do your research bud. Clearly you must be trolling.
User 1: I did and you are wrong. Trolling?? LMFAO hypocrite.
Troll: *sends a link to Sony's website which blatantly states that the display is 120hz* Here's your proof bud, it says 144hz. How does it feel to be wrong?
User 2: Ugh somebody report this troll please.

Friend 1: Probably the most stupid vine I ever saw was that kid who kept saying 9+10=21.
Friend 2: What?! Are you telling me you don't know that 9+10=21?? Do your research girl! Haha.

Get the Do your research mug.A neurotransmitter that is most known for regulating mood.
While the release of serotonin has been commonly associated with producing feelings of happiness and content, it is a misconception that this is its primary function (it's not). Serotonin's range of functions in the human body are very broad and complex. The chemical plays a crucial role in cognition, memory, reward, and learning as well as numerous physiological processes such as vomiting and the constriction of blood vessels. Without Serotonin, you probably would not even be alive.

Person 1: This video gives me so much serotonin.
Person 2: Same! I can feel the good vibes flow through me.
Me: I hate to be a party pooper, but FYI Serotonin isn't entirely responsible for giving you "the good vibes". What you are describing is a complex rush of hormones and neurotransmitters made up of serotonin as well as dopamine, oxytocin, and other endorphins. These are commonly referred to as your "happy hormones".

Get the Serotonin mug.Technical meaning: To internalize the fact of being oppressed. In other words, to treat the state of oppression as if it were normal.
Internalized oppression: as the tyrannical king ruled over the country, its citizens have eventually learned to treat the harsh oppression as a part of their normal everyday life, never questioning their freedoms.

Get the Internalized oppression mug.A single point in time that serves as a reference point to indicate a significant shift in popular culture. The point in time often refers to a specific real-world event that is tremendously influential, so much so that it profoundly affects and reshapes popular and mainstream culture. Usually, a cultural reset is promptly followed by a new Zeitgeist (which means "the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs").
Trump winning the 2016 election is a clear-cut example of a cultural reset. After this point in time, pop culture became increasingly more fixated on politics and social justice. Internet memes went through a complete terrible overhaul. Pop music began to shift from inspirational to silly frivolous tunes (both musically and lyrically). And people have started adopting a more critical view towards what they read on the news.

Get the Cultural reset mug.It's basically the how-to-guide equivalent of BuzzFeed. The how-to's are often very formulaic and dumbed down, as if anything can be simplified down to 10 short steps. And most of the tips and tricks they give are common sense. They also have some of the most stupid and pointless how-to's which merely serves more as humor than anything. It's all just fast food garbage that's easy to digest but gives little value in return.
