Deja vu? I saw these comments three days ago but they show as being from today. @dang seems like something is wonky? The comments correctly show as 3 days old in the commenters' histories.
- pmoriarty 5y agoI suspect that what's happening is that some days after being submitted, some posts are pushed to the front page by the admins of this site.
- Jtsummers 5y agoUsually via the second chance pool. The timestamp of the post and earlier comments are reset to a current time (probably to game HN’s own ranking system) and new comments will have correct timestamps. After a while all the times go back to their correct ones. https://news.ycombinator.com/pool https://news.ycombinator.com/pool Selecting “past” at the top of this submission can confirm this. It shows this submission with the same submitter, score, and number of comments but dated 4 days ago.
