How about when they say “a phenomena”?
- Comment on Compost 3 months ago:
How is that supposed to remove lead and mercury from the food supply? If you use that as fertilizer, the heavy metals will still be in there, and like get picked up by your crops…

Generally yes, but what’s shown here isn’t, it only looks a bit like it if you ignore the clearly spelled out context.

- Comment on Teams apparently can't call when using Firefox 10 months ago:
There is more information in there that isn’t actually true and only supposed to trick some old web servers into treating it a certain way than there is actually correct information,

I get the joke, but in contrast to heating, you can easily just… not run demanding games while the electricity is insanely expensive for a day.

Using “they” when you haven’t yet established the group you are referring to in context feels weird and kinda wrong, especially if it’s about a group of inanimate objects. It really looks like the word should have been “there”, but they just mistyped and then didn’t catch the error in the editing process or didn’t bother to correct it.
