I don't recall when I first encountered "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose".
But I remember the first and best translation of it I ever heard:
"The changer it gets, the samer it stays."

@GeePawHill I am mildly embarrassed to admit my first encounter with this phrase was from the X-Men in the 90s.
@GeePawHill I love that! 🤘🤘🤘
My favorite iteration of the French saying is "plus ça change, plus c'est la même fuckin' chose." 🤣🤣🤣
