Interesting, see I would have translated it as

I don't just believe all of the shit I read on the internet because I don't have my head a mile up my own ass

But i suppose I'm not fluent in lemming so what do i know.

Maybe if you were fluent in English you could have said what you meant in one attempt.

it sets off “potential bs” alarms

Pretty clear to me, I guess my problem was assuming I was speaking to another adult, and not a child who would react to a made up perception of what I meant instead of the words I actually said. Exactly like the kind of person who just believes every headline they read as long as it aligns to their values.
