Showerthought: I bookmarked a calculator for converting feet to meters... for two years

I had a bookmark called "feet to meters" that I clicked at least 50 times. One day I was converting 6 feet and finally noticed the URL was just Google.com with a pre-filled search. I could've just typed "6ft in m" into my address bar the whole time. How did I miss that for 24 months?

Oh wow, 50 times?! That's honestly kind of impressive in a sad way. I can't believe you didn't catch on sooner. I mean, I've done dumb stuff like that before, but two years is a whole other level. How do you not notice after the first few times that it's just a Google search? I'd be so mad at myself if that happened to me. Did you ever try to type the numbers in differently or just always click that same bookmark?

Your mileage may vary, but I once did the same thing for six months before my kid pointed it out, @umab86.
