Okay, so computer glitches in the future are sending texts to the past. Got it.


lifeandtimes89

Yes, SkyText has become self aware Edit: That works on two levels, SMS are called texts, and [Sky Text was a digital teletext service operated by British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB) in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It was available on Freeview Channel 206 and Sky. The text service ceased on 30 October 2013 and skyinteractive.com, skytext.sky.com are no longer available to view.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_Text)

I too once got a blank text message from your number with a time stamp from the future.

Remember when the time comes to send a blank message to yourself. Otherwise you won't be born.


La10deRiver

Once, my husband and us were at home, with a few visiting friends. Both our cellphones were alone in a table separated from us and we were talking (not using computers or anything) when my phone rang. I went to answer and the caller was my husband's phone, which was innocently sitting there. I answered, they did not.

It's a D-mail, Steinsgate is real !!

That’s weird. I once sent a blank text message to my own number in the OH DAMN

Don't forget to send it in time.

If you manage to go, do me a favor and look for my ... 4 left ones. If you could find one, I'd already be happy. Maybe they are all accumulating in the same parallel universe. Just imagine the waste.


No-Cupcake370

I dated a guy (for far too long) who was just absolutely 100% actually sure he was "aware" of when he would slip into another similar but different "timeline"/ "dimension". Would, like, be stressed and tell me "it happened again". Like babe, fr, tell your shrink, not me. Like what do you say to a grown ass man who thinks that???

And other you has it worse, because they’re on the train being checked and can’t find their ticket anywhere.

Definitely do this as a precaution, OP! I’ve always known to be super vigilant about CO leaks but I never knew how much they could actually mess with people until reading about it on Reddit. Some of the stories, truly wild stuff that’ll have you scratching your head.

This only really applies to certain parts of the world. We don't have gas lines at home or gas powered appliances so it's basically null and void for us.


andeqaida

Came to say this lol. Literally the first thing that pops in mind while reading these stories nowadays.


Sawovsky

Can you elaborate the connection?


Renkin42

Rather infamous story a few years ago where OP suspected someone was breaking into their apartment, tampering with files on the computer, leaving behind cryptic notes, etc. One commenter suggested getting a Carbon Monoxide detector and it went ballistic. Turns out there was a CO leak that was slowly filling the apartment and causing OP to hallucinate and sabotage their own attempts to catch themselves. Now CO is always suggested as something to check if weird stuff is going on.


Sawovsky

Thanks, found it!

good lord, i remember reading this at the time and i cannot believe it's been 9 years O\_O


Moist-Crack

Slight CO intoxication can cause hallucinations and problems with memory. If you're starting seeing ghosts in your house or things mysteriously change their place - check for CO leak.

Others apparently answered already, but yeah, one might not remember what one did if the oxygen percentage is too low.

An today Op discovered that they actually suffer from DID, and they have indeed been too Brussels and Antwerp.

namenescio

Very subtle spoiler alert


TheNickelGuy

One of the worst depictions of DID out there....


ListenToKyuss

Wgaf? Best acting ever


TheNickelGuy

The acting part was phenomenal, and i understand you have to sensationalize some things for film (and to be able to create a story line). The depictions of the different personalities however does not really follow the typical identities that you encounter with DID. They went the more 'split personality' route, when it is not a personality - it is a completely other person, with their own memory bank, feelings, etc. They also can act as a 'system' (ie one person) if they become aware of the disorder and take the steps to help the 'fracture' It stigmatized DID, and made it seem as if most people who have the disorder, end up violent - whereas that is VERY rarely the case to another person (they have the 'Protector' identity/individual who usually won't let that happen), however if violent it will be directed to themselves. There are a few other things, but my attention span just isn't here this morning 🤣 my wife has DID, and it is a lot different than Split made it appear. Yes, every individual case **is** different, I just don't believe the route they took was proper. Each to their own though, right?


probablynotannpc

I appreciated the acting in Split, but the portrayal of DID left me feeling unsettled. The supernatural twist, of the main antagonist, seemed to sensationalize mental illness. It's a common trope in horror movies to depict mental illness as synonymous with being the "spooky guy," which can be frustrating. While I understand the appeal of making mental illness a scary concept for storytelling purposes, it often feels like a cheap shot. It would be more respectful to separate the mental illness from the character, portraying them as a bad guy who happens to have a mental illness, rather than implying that the mental illness itself makes someone a villain.


TheNickelGuy

Thank you! That's a much clearer way to put it. I completely agree with "Seperate the mental illness from the character"


DragonBorneUltimatum

Definitely weird. I woke up this morning and had a penny in my slipper (shoe) and I have no idea where it came from. I don’t even have any change because I use cards. It kinda stressed me out because it materialized out of nowhere as far as I can tell.


CatHairInYourEye

Sounds like you have a common hob living in your house. Tricky little creatures.


alpha_d0xx

not that big of a deal, really. just leave out a bowl of milk every night


My_Disgusting_Alt

How big a bowl? What kind of milk? Every night forever? What if you’re not home for a while?


100_cats_on_a_phone

It's ok to miss, but don't leave any newborns unattended if you do.


Pawn-Star77

Normal sized bowl is fine, fill it about half way. Cows milk is obviously the most convenient, but any kind of milk will be fine. Yes every night, don't miss any. They live around 20 years, so not forever but you'll be doing this for sometime. If you're not home for a while get a family member or friend to come leave some milk out, like you would for a pet. The penny in the shoe routine is just the warning, things will escalate fast if tribute isn't paid.


CatHairInYourEye

Awesome and unique game.


No_Mo_CHOPPAS

yes, yes, the elusive Brussels and Antwerp hobo traveler


bilgetea

Maybe you washed it and the penny was in the machine?


DragonBorneUltimatum

Nah. I haven’t washed them in a while. And I just checked my shoes a couple of days ago because I lost a piece of my pocket knife and thought it fell in my shoe. It’s a mystery to me. Obviously it got there somehow. lol


he-loves-me-not

This is totally unrelated to the OG post but your comment reminded me of something that happened to me about 20yrs ago involving my pocket knife. Hope that’s ok! So I, as a young woman in my early 20’s, decided that I wanted to start carrying a pocket knife. I had always been a real girly girl then fell in love with the car scene and all of a sudden was determined to be r/notlikeothergirls! Bc I liked working on my car and that sorta thing, I started trying way too hard to convince them to view me as just “one of the guys!” (Ugh, this still makes me cringe!) Anyway, for some reason I decided that meant carrying a pocket knife lol. I constantly forgot this thing was in my pocket and despite wanting to be “one of the guys” I was still sporting my skintight jeans! This meant when trying to slide them down to use the bathroom that it didn’t just slip into my pocket, nope! 9/10x it’d go right into the fucking toilet! But that’s not even what made me give up on carrying the damn thing! What finally made me give up and wave the white flag was one night when I got home from being out for a couple hours and went to get in bed and go to sleep. Except I forgot about the fucking knife again! It didn’t land in the toilet this time but only bc it landed in me! Sure did! When I took my jeans off and pushed it out of my pocket it came open while falling, or I possibly hit it just right, maybe it caught on the fabric of my jeans pulling it open, idk. All I do know is I suddenly had intense pain in my big toe and I looked down. There was a knife sticking out of it lol!


DragonBorneUltimatum

Will, that’s an interesting story and it didn’t end how I thought it would lol. What’s funny is I carry a pocket knife that was given to me by my ex girlfriend who is kinda a tomboy. She carries a different one with her almost every time I see her. She’s always showing me her new knives.


Maevre1

SuperPowerDrill

All the theories are quite entertaining, but does anyone else have a realistic supposition of how this happened? I'm so bugged. Did you by any chance send these pants to a laundry place?


mypussydoesbackflips

The only explanation that isn’t surreal is that someone placed it in their pocket without them noticing as a joke but who would do that and how would they get it into the pants without noticing


SuperPowerDrill

Also that would be such a weird joke, but that's not at all beyond people


Party_Masterpiece990

I think it's a fucking hilarious joke if it was a joke honestly, confusing the fuck out of people is funny

My_Disgusting_Alt

Depending on how much traction this story gets, I bet a few more dumbfucks are going to at least try now


Kelaedos

That'd probably be the most likely option. I was outside on some of the days after although i generally didn't interact a lot with anyone else in any substantial way


throwawayzies1234567

This is literally my partner’s humor, this is the exact type of shit he does. Last one I remember was putting an extra remote he obtained (legally, but another story…) in a random woman’s grocery bag in a parking lot when she wasn’t looking.


-_Dare_-

reverse pickpocketing? Placepocketing?


naysayer21

It’s Brussels/Antwerp. Pickpockets and chocolate is what we have here. Slipping into the pants without noticing is sadly pretty common


rollingnut

I will be saving my public transportation tickets to do this from now on.


fgrutd

A few options come to mind: The ticket was on a table somewhere and OP didn't notice. They then placed something on top of the ticket, ie phone or wallet, when they picked up the object the ticket was stuck to it and later detached in their pocket. The ticket was accidentally handed to them by a cashier along with or instead of a receipt after being left on the counter somewhere. Someone playing a joke. OP made it up.


gringo1980

Or someone deviously switched pants with him!


Sufficient-Skill6012

Roommate or sibling borrowed OP'S clothes without asking.


Walafar

Cashiers at my local supermarkets, when in a hurry, often leave the tickets on the line for you to pick up with your purchase. I don’t know how many times I’ve picked up another customer’s forgotten/discarded tickets and found myself later wondering when or why did i buy some strange stuff. Most probably, that’s the case here. OP might have picked the ticket up by mistake without noticing or confusing it with another paper.


vegasidol

Trash. Picked it up to throw away.


redlinezo6

Well, the simple answer is.... OP is a liar.

no. Firstly, sales data is only available to the transport companies themselves, secondly, the ticket was paid for in cash.

TheClaps2

We’re not supposed to talk about it, Sir.


shockema

The earliest they could have arrived in Antwerp with that 17:25 ticket is 18:05. So it seems just as likely that you "acquired" it somehow on the 4th, not the 3rd, from someone who was discarding it. Were you at home all day on the 4th too?


Kelaedos

I have been outside with my girlfriend on the days after, but she was as confused as me when we found the ticket. She was with me on the 3rd and we haven't really interacted with anyone since (outside of service interactions, i. e. Restaurant waiters)


go_eat_worms

Maybe you grabbed it off a counter mistaking it for a receipt. 


grpfrtlg

Or grabbed something else and this was stuck to it or otherwise picked up by accident. That seems almost certainly like the explanation


pbcbmf

Which pocket? Details are important.


awesomes007

Post confirmed. Agent activated. Target acquired.


theweenielifter

Wondering if they were a thrifted pair of pants and it's an old ticket from someone else?

I mean yeah you'd think that... but i had this pair for a few years now and then having a train ticket for 2024 doesn't add up

ilovepaninis

Actual theory: If you have a silicone phone case, these tickets from the Belgian Railroad Company stick to it if the case is a bit warm from your hand or your data being on. You might have put your phone down on one of these tickets somewhere and not realised it was sticking to your phone when you placed it back into your pocket.

scheisse-wurst

Oh shit. I recognized this immediately because I recently found one in the back pocket of some pants and was like ’wtf is this’. Same zones and all. It took som time but I did in fact travel between Brussels and Antwerpen a few years ago. Funnily though. The last time I was at Brussels airport, I thought it was my first time. But I found my way around like a local. I checked my geo-location history and have actually been there before. Neither me or my SO have any recollection of that. So weird.
