A person who thinks they are good at optimizing their electronics, computers and other equipment, but suffer severely from confirmation bias. Bientists "buy into" ridiculous, half-baked and often overkill solutions usually out of a combination of impatience and arrogance. Rather than doing any verifiable research or empirical experimentation, they base their techniques on correlations, isolated incidents and things they read once on a forum, usually posted by other bientists. If a confirmation bientists finds another confirmation bientist with the same ideas, their ignorance is locked in for life. See also: bientist.
Any confirmation bientist will tell you that disabling all the services in Microsoft Windows and turning off automatic updates will make everything run better and faster with minimal internet lag.

While nearly all ppl & occurrences that garner this label are quite literally as far away from being Illuminati as humanly (or otherworldly) possible, there's still this sort of pseudo-esotericism overly applied to just about everything by netizens. No they truly _don't_ belong to a secret society conveniently born in Bavaria in the same year as the United States gained its independence from Britain. or y'know, yeah! they do! ...'cause who am i to question our illustrious, malevolent overlords...

The most popular way of verifying unconfirmed facts, rumors, and unproven assertions by anyone. If it's in Google, then it might have merit. Although, it should be noted that reading the actual articles is completely different from just reading the search results and webpage titles, so the facts might still remain unconfirmed.
I just Google-and-confirmed it, the search results say that Justin Bieber is, as a matter of fact, gay.
Groupie Fan Girl: No way! You just checked the search results and didn't read the articles, it's not true!
