Is transmet trending somewhere? I haven't seen it quoted or memed in years but now twice in two days.
Not that I'm aware. Probably Baader-Meinhof.
To wit, coincidences are more noticeable than non-coincidences, and once you've noticed one it'll be much easier to notice others you might have missed.
I myself once spent about a week seeing Curta hand-held mechanical calculators everywhere. Books, magazines, blog posts, youtube... I wasn't complaining, of course, the Curta is an amazing piece of engineering, but still, it was a bit weird.
