Does anyone here feel like explaining this "no note bungus" thing?
So...
There's this post by @itwashotwestayedinthewater from the 13th of August 2016 that just says "bungus" followed by a reblog by the same user saying "welcome to 'no note bungus'. reblog and you will feel a sense of accomplishment and goodwill wash over you". No matter how many people replied to it, reblogged it or liked it, none of those replies, reblogs or likes would appear on the post's notes, not even the OP's reblog where they added the second part of the post.
It became even weirder in the last couple of days, when some likes actually started appearing on the notes and the note counted became a number other than zero for the first time in almost eight years. Those likes are also very strange by themselves: the users appearing in the list of likes to the No Note Bungus post also change depending on where you're reading the post.
And something even crazier is that, on the 20th of September 2022, one reblog had appeared on the notes, been screen-capped, and then disappeared again.
I know some people here know about websites and other internet & computer science stuff, and they might be able to provide at least some possible answers to why such a thing as the No Note Bungus post even exists. A few of them already explained successfully other bizarre Tumblr phenomena, like a bunch of posts with special letter fonts and text effects that became famous for losing their absolute s*** when someone tried to read them on Tumblr's mobile app. If anyone with actual technical knowledge of how Tumblr works reads this, please come out and enlighten us, so we can go to sleep with the peace of mind of knowing that this mystery is solved and isn't gonna haunt our dreams or something.
