/Meta: There's three different posts on the front page on the theme of "what is time, anyway", and I'm curious if there some reason for that? Did I miss some news event? Did some leap-second bug crash something?
- wwalexander 3y agoI’ll often see articles on the front page related to a popular thread from a day or two ago. I always assume that someone either went down a rabbit hole based on the original thread and wanted to share their findings, or already knew about that topic and felt inspired by the original thread to share something useful about it.
- pbhjpbhj 3y agoHypothesis: People gaming clicks using popularity of subjects from past years would want to drift (heh!) the time forward slightly, these topics probably normally arise around the time clocks change for Winter (29 October this year is the end of British Summer Time). So, I speculate that this is a drifted "clocks go back, but will your computer adjust itself?" topic area.
