is the correct version, replacing it with 'how the turntables' is a joke originally from the US version of The Office, it and similar variations became a 'meme' on reddit and elsewhere as couple of years ago, and it's rare to see the correct version anymore, and your comment cements that for me
Ah I see, I just see it so often these days that it seems conceivable the people writing it and by extension those reading it; don't realize they are making a joke/reference and believe they are using the phrase in the 'correct' way, and when it is used in an otherwise 'serious' comment/post it can be quite jarring

Yeah but do people really not know the phrase "how the tables have turned"?
You would have assumed so, but a lot of kids are pretty much raised on the internet so it would not surprise me that there are a lot of people out there who do not, and I've seen it used where a joke clearly wasn't intended, I also think it's been repeated so much that some who know better have in internalized it so much they use it without realizing

oh, didn't know it was from the office, but knew it was a dumb reddit thing
IMO repeating dumb reddit things brainlessly like that is inherently fascist because you also repeat the other stuff they say

Paul Krugman is a ghoul but I wish he was right sometimes
imagine entire generations of kids raised on reddit
Unimaginable horror
at least they're would be a sub group of kids banned from reddit and raised on ChaCha
