This is a meta question, but I made a comment here twelve hours ago, and now it's showing the original post was from only 3 hours ago and that my comment was only 2 hours ago. What's going on with that? You can also see if you look at my comment profile history when I made that comment twelve hours ago it has the time correctly marked there but not in this thread.

- TeMPOraL 3y agoThat's Hacker News. You've just discovered one of the hacks in play :).
- mbustamanter 3y agoThat happens when the post has been queued to the second-chance pool: https://news.ycombinator.com/pool https://news.ycombinator.com/pool
- ftxbro 3y agooh that's interesting how do posts get queued there EDIT: i see they are picked manually "HN's second-chance pool is a way to give links a second chance at the front page. Moderators and a small number of reviewers go through old submissions looking for articles that are in the spirit of the site—gratifying intellectual curiosity—and which seem like they might interest the community."
