A screenshot, taken way before rexxit, of two comments on reddit, dated “1 year ago”.

The first comment is by a deleted user and the comment has been removed. The second comment is a reply to the deleted comment and it says: “That solved it. Thanks!”

Edit: added temporal context.

    Nothing grinds my gears more than looking for a tech solution / coding solution to a problem, only to find one other person had the same issue, and then finding that the original post was either deleted like in OPs, or just “nevermind I fixed it”.

      I’ll bite. Have you ever been trying to find a solution and multiple of the top results are various forum posts where the only reply is people telling OP to just use a search engine instead of asking?

      The absolute best is if the OP was you and you found the solution and now can’t remember and are looking again but never documented it.
