      I love the Yale Grammatical Diversity Project for questions like this. Linguists figure this comes from Scots-Irish immigrants to the US https://ygdp.yale.edu/phenomena/needs-washed https://ygdp.yale.edu/phenomena/needs-washed

        Thank you so much for this link, this is extremely interesting and it really makes me wonder, consciously, I have never read this construction online before, but is this because I actually haven't seen it, or did I subconsciously write it off as an abbreviation or a typo. Maybe there is some analysis of how this construction gets used online, too, which might reveal some linguistic patterns of internet communities.
