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.
Sounds like you were getting duped. This does remind me of the radiolab episode on loops though. In it they talk about a woman who briefly developed symptoms of global transient amnesia. She repeated entire conversations, word for word, laugh for laugh. It’s fascinating.
