      I have actually gone back and posted some comments starting with “Dear people from the future…” on some issues after I figured it out because of this comic. I wonder if anyone has ever seen those and got the joke.

    Until I find the Reddit post with the comment that has the reply “thanks bro” and the parent comment says “this comment was mass edited with redact.dev”
