Not because DDG got better, but just because google got worse.

google is still better for site-specific searches, and google scholar still has minimal AI slop

      I don’t believe you. DAE has been an extremely common abbreviation for well over a decade at least.

          I didn’t say you lied, just saying that there’s no way you’ve been on the internet for 30 years and have never seen DAE anywhere before now.

            Well now you have two people you are calling liars.

            Maybe, and hear me out: you’re wrong.

            You seem like a young man so that’s not something anyone has told you before, so what I would recommend is reaching out and finding a stable position to hold on to for 30-60 seconds. once you’ve recovered, your brain will automatically go to work trying to find out why you’re actually right, actually, like for real. Suppress that feeling for a moment and accept that yes, your life experience is different from others. And then find a nice therapist because let’s be honest after that shock to your system you’ll need one.
