Doesn't "I accidentally a" predate lol?
I seem to recall it from high school, and that was before mobiles were widespread.

"LOL" goes back to IRC so at least 1980s or so.
Wikipedia suggests lol is more like 40 years old, but you actually have a written record to back that up.
All I have is my own experience, I wasn't really on the internet until the 2000s so I wouldn't have come across lol until mobile phones and texting became widespread (around 1999/2000).
"I accidentally a" would have been in the 1995 - 2000 time frame. But again that's just my experience of it.
"I accidentally" started in 2008, and they have a link to the youtube video it came from: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-accidentally
Lol would have become widely used with text messages which is when I came across it, it could have been used back in the BBS days.
"I accidentally a" is basically just teenage humour.
I accidentally <implied sexual thing> a $X. (Obviously becoming more funny the more unlikely it is for any sexual thing to work on whatever $X is).
On top of that you've got the weird language construction, just like speaking like Yoda is hilarious, and you have the perfect thing to spread throughout the playground.
Although internet usage doesn't imply the sexual act.
I accidentally a house Means i accidentally built? A house.
Not I accidentally had sex with a house.
