Same vibe - searching for a solution on StackOverflow, best answer is one I wrote ...

One time I couldn't figure out how to do something in this old game I was replaying. Typed in the problem, and found an old forum post of mine where I explained what to do in that section. At least I didn't do a classic "nevermind - solved it" post back then.

I once was two hundred pages into a book before I realized I had already read it.

It wasn't a very good book the second time either

I have replied to my own comments years later and agreed with myself before realizing.

Anyone still watching in 2026??

(dear lord I hate these comments on every damn video)

I've been 2.5 episodes into a "new" show before realizing I'd watched it before.

More than once for me it's been a comment that I posted.

Or seeing your likes as you scroll through the comments

It seems you've also seen a sphere being turned inside out

I swear youtube is messing with me, I get videos sometimes that I don't have liked but i swear I've seen before

Nice, you can be a politician or even a us president if your condition degrades soon

There is nothing new under the sun.

You ever rewatch a show because it's been long enough that you forgot what happens? Well, the same can happen to internet content too. Only you'll forget that you had ever saw it in the first place because it's not a show with hours of content under its name.

What kind of psychopath reads the comments, let alone likes them...
