This was seriously one of my favorite things on Reddit. I would be happy if it had a Renaissance on Lemmy. Looks like two communities exist but they haven't gotten much traction. [email protected] and [email protected]

I don't understand the phenomenon.

For example in OP you think they're going to look up origin of bear cave but instead they did for "Romania". That's the switcheroo.

On reddit whenever that would happen someone would link to the previous time, leading to a long list where you could go back accross many posts.

So next time a similar thing happens someone could link here and so on.

If that makes any sense.

So each switcheroo just leads to a previous switcheroo and that's the thing?

Cool, thanks.
