I was confused why I got a “Eigil Rischel has created a new post: Demystifying the Second Law of Thermodynamics” notification. Turns out there’s a “Subscribe to posts” button on people’s user pages!
I don’t remember clicking that option on Eigil’s page (nor having any particular memory of who Eigil Rischel is), but I presumably must have clicked it by accident sometime in the past, probably last year (because the document icon tab of my notifications pane also has an old notification for his previous post, and it looks like I had already upvoted his two next-previous posts from October and September 2019).
