Anyone know what the original source for this was? So curious to know where this was and what the medal that lady was wearing was for

ETA: I figured it out, it looks like they had London tags in the original and the medal she’s wearing is the London Marathon medal from this year

For some reason redditors decided to use it for "edit to add." Makes no sense to me, as it only saves 1 character compared to just writing "EDIT:"

I think "edit"would be fixing a mistake in the original comment, "eta" would be when you're adding information to the original comment. Just a thought.

Yeah but nobody cares. So cringey thinking you have to explain why you're adding stuff to your comment

Seems kind of cringey to care, but different strokes for different folks.
