PSA: People keep confusing "ask anything" with "ask for advice" in this community

Noticed this a lot lately. Someone will post a question and then get mad when people just answer it literally instead of giving them a solution. Like yesterday a guy asked "what's the best way to water a garden" and someone replied "with a hose" and he was furious. But that's literally answering the question. If you want advice, just say "advice" in the title. Am I the only one seeing this pattern?

Kinda feels like people are looking for reasons to be mad these days. Someone answers a simple question with a simple answer, and now it's a whole thing. If you want advice, ask for advice. If you want a specific solution, ask for that. Seems pretty straightforward to me. Bet half of these "misunderstandings" are just internet arguments that wouldn't exist face to face. People take this stuff too personally.

Half the time people just misread tone and it's really not that deep.
