Help looking for past post September 11, 2018 11:28 AM   Subscribe

You may be thinking of this 2005 comment from orthogonality or this 2012 comment from DU.

Or maybe this 2017 comment from abulafa.

Or this 2016 comment from zompist.

It seems to be a perennial observation.

sounds a bit like this 2015 comment from lubujackson: Google will never totally predict what you want to search for because life is a chaotic system.
