No, I think it lacks a certain savor and snap. Probably someone else.

Haha! I couldn’t remember writing it but it just sounded like something I’d write. Made me laugh reading it too, which is poor forum I suppose, laughing at your own humour.

Can one plagiarize oneself? In a manner of speaking, yes. There is even a word for this: cryptomnesia.

Cryptomnesia occurs when a forgotten memory returns without its being recognized as such by the subject, who believes it is something new and original.

I wonder how many knew that. I had to look it up!

Are you trying to tell me everyone knew what 'Cryptomnesia' meant, like it was a word used daily?

I don't know that you even knew, would have to take you on your word for whatever that is worth.

If I were to list people who did know, I wouldn't have you on that list! 😉

There is nothing wrong with laughing at your own humour or yourself. The world has changed so much since that thread back in 2019.
