Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Ye olde version of looking up a weird specific software problem and the guy answered his own post with just ‘nvm fixed it!’
"[Removed by moderator]"
But that is at least solvable with the internet archive (most of the time)
Too many damn times...
I was promised an immortal repository of knowledge in my youth. Now most of my bookmarks are dead links and finding answers is just like your example half the time.

"Read the wiki" but the part of the relevant wiki page for the subject was removed years ago and the edit history was purged after the server ran out of disk space.
Return to thread and complain that people are clueless and directing you to a useless resource. Mod locks thread and threatens you with a ban.
Ugh, yes. I try to always remember to update with what I did to fix it. Although if I'm honest, what probably happens 95% of the time is I just forget about the post entirely.
Or you fix it through such a convoluted process of randomly trying things that you can barely articulate the solution yourself.
Recently had a issue where my network connection would just die on a VM I was running every couple hours. I spent days trying to troubleshoot that and never found an answer and eventually resigned myself to having to restart the whole thing every day or so. A while back I realized that it had just.... stopped doing that. No, idea what changed other than some updates that had been done, but I never found any reports of that issue anywhere that would indicate it was on someone's radar to fix.
