When you find an old Reddit thread for your exact issue

When you come across a thread from a Redditor about your exact issue from years ago

This meme combines a historical 1917 war painting with relatable internet humor. The artwork shows a living soldier in a trench aiming a rifle, while the skeleton of a dead fellow soldier stands behind him, guiding his aim by resting his hands on the soldier's shoulder and rifle. The text at the top of the image reads: 'When you come across a thread from a Redditor about your exact issue from years ago'. The joke draws a parallel between the long-dead soldier helping his comrade and a Reddit user who posted a solution to a problem years prior, now figuratively helping people who find their old thread when facing the same issue.

This meme was originally shared on the Reddit r/Meme subreddit with the title 'We are in this together'. The base artwork is a 1917 World War I themed painting by Austrian artist Hans Larwin. The image was edited on Imgflip, as indicated by the 'imgflip.com' watermark in the bottom left corner, to add the relatable text caption before being posted to Reddit. It has circulated widely as a relatable joke about finding solutions to technical or personal problems on old Reddit threads.
