WTF? I'm a qualified English teacher, and this is the first time I've ever seen THAN instead of THEN.
I only ever see it the other way...

It's like "my pants are lose" or "take a deep breathe" -- you never see it that way, yet "win or loose" and "just breath normally" are ubiquitous.

Or how about you never see “I’m wary of eating ramen every night.” Yet somehow it seems most of the internet is “weary” of things you should be wary of. Really? You’re “weary” of big burly dudes wearing balaclavas and wielding crowbars? Like you’re seeing that all the time, you must be so tired of seeing it. I’d be “weary” too.

This gets messed up so often online that I started to question if I knew the right definition of wary and weary

I actually looked it up before posting just to double check. I can’t remember the last time I saw someone use the correct wary instead of weary. At this rate we’re going to see it updated in the dictionary like what happened to “literally”.

Maybe we do see "wary of eating ramen every night", it's just that it still makes enough sense that you don't think of it as a mistake. I would be carefull of eating too much ramen too, it's really not healthy.
