          Ah, the Arch forum/stack experience. Along with

          “Problem still exists like 2 years later.”

          “DON’T NECRO. CLOSED.”

    The new version of this is coming across a reddit post where it seems like OP replies “Thanks, that worked!” to “In protest of Reddit’s API changes, I have removed my comment history. Fuck u/Spez”

    Repair forum version:

    • Here are the exact bolts you need to loosen: <dead photobucket link>
    • After that make sure you note this gasket: <another dead photobucket link>
    • The replacement part is very hard to find but they carry it here: <404>
    • You’ll find the torque spec here: <domain sold to online casino advertiser>

    Bonus points if the only schematic you can find is a 256 resolution jpg on pinterest that leads to a wordpress site were a bot only posts random schematics to farm pinterest engagement.

      I’ll do you one worse and I’ve posted this before: when you make a post looking for help on an esoteric problem, and then solve it and just reply ‘nvm fixed it’, and then years later have the same problem but when you go looking for the solution only find your old posts.

        One day Shizuo Kakutani . . . was teaching a class at Yale. He wrote down a lemma on the blackboard and announced that the proof was obvious. One student timidly raised his hand and said that it wasn’t obvious to him. Could Kakutani explain? After several moments’ thought, Kakutani realized that he could not himself prove the lemma. He apologized, and said that he would report back at their next class meeting.

        After class, Kakutani went straight to his office. He labored for quite a time and found that he could not prove the pesky lemma. He skipped lunch and went to the library to track down the lemma. After much work, he finally found the original paper. The lemma was stated clearly and succinctly. For the proof, the author had written, “Exercise for the reader.” The author of this 1941 paper was Kakutani.

      This has happened a few times were I find a solution on stack overflow, I go to upvote the answer and I get the error message “you can’t upvote your own post”

      Yep, that was my answer to my own question from 5 years ago

      So long as you’re willing to skip the first 8 minutes and play the next 20 seconds at 0.25 speed, where he very quickly glances over the problem, then goes on for another 10 minutes to talk about something unrelated in minute detail

    Another variation of this is when you used Google, and the responses to the post say “Use Google”, or links to lmgtfy.

    Maybe AI can help here, since it is trained on stack overflow and co. ;)
