Here too you can see that for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40207449 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40207449 claims to be posted "seven hours ago" at the time of this comment. But with a tooltip that it was posted on at 2024-04-30T05:11:46, and indeed the same comment on the user's comments page says it was posted "2 days ago" which lines up with that tooltip.
