I go to investigate, and they had managed to plug the HDMI cable of one monitor into the other monitor.

To be generous, maybe they’re familiar with DisplayPort daisy-chaining, which is a thing.
Interesting. Never heard of that. It’d just be a guess, but I’m doubting this was a person familiar with that. Just a humorous oopsy.
You just blew my mind. I didn’t know it’s even possible.
TIL. Nice
Never been a sysadmin, but used to sell electronics. People really have absolutely no idea how any of it works, including pretty straight forward stuff, like displays. Had to explain to a shockingly large number of people that there was no such thing as an ethernet to HDMI adapter and that even if there was, plugging ethernet into their non-smart TV’s HDMI port wouldn’t let them watch Netflix on it.
HD Base-T does exist but I know what you mean.
Yes, HDMI over cat5e is definitely a thing. As is Ethernet over HDMI, but as far as I know literally no retailer sells those.
I bought HDMI cables that support ethernet years ago from Amazon’s store brand.
HDMI with included Ethernet is a thing.
“No, they’re working exactly as intended.”
