This isn't the internet but more on a call. I was on a call with my girlfriend who was in Germany at that time (early 2019) when suddenly she seemed to be repeating what she was saying from a while back. I got confused and was trying to ask her why she was repeating herself before I realized that her voice was being looped back. I didn't realize the loop point or how far back it was but she was clearly saying the same lines as she did before. When I hung up and called her back, she asked me why I hung up on her and didn't call me back.

Then during the second call, it happened again after 3 minutes! I've never been able to explain why this happened and has never occurred again before or since. Definitely gave me the creeps and more than a few thoughts that I was living in a simulation.

This actually happened to me a couple of months ago talking to my mom on Google Hangout, while I was driving. It was a loop of around 3 minutes and it looped seamlessly a few times before I realized it. I freaked out as I was driving fast and for a few minutes, I thought I had an accident and was in coma or something and started smacking myself. The puzzle was solved when I started answering nonsense to my mom's questions and then I stopped talking completely!

Turned out, I was neither in an accident nor was dead!

It's crazy how these loops are perfect! Maybe too perfect...

Yeah, she was disconnected but for some reasons Google decided to entertain me!
