Ron posted this on Twitter. I need to find a canvas and paint. Now!
Woops… double post.
Could you stop posting the exact same things at the exact same moment?
I’m not surprised that two people report some fan art twitted by Ron at the same moment. But I’m astonished that we also wrote almost exactly the same reply (“Whoops, double post.”).

That’s most commonly used now, although the longer purported origin to this phrase, “Great minds think alike, and fools never differ.” has a different tone. Evidently the etymology of this phrase isn’t well understood. I find these kinds of language items very interesting.

The German phrase is meant ironical and in most cases spoken with a smile in the face.
Of course, I’ve never heard it in any other context. But linguistics are my hobby, so I started thinking about the context of the phrase.
