- atahanacar 2y agoHa! I had this exact same moment happen to me before[0]. Apparently: >This post has been rescued by the second chance pool at https://news.ycombinator.com/pool https://news.ycombinator.com/pool >When this happens, the relative timestamps (X minutes ago etc.) are reset to the time at which the post is selected for the front page. The absolute timestamps in the tooltips, like you have discovered, show the actual time in this case. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37241731 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37241731
- tom_ 2y agoAh, thanks. I didn't realize the timestamps got updated too!
- antsar 2y agoYou're not going crazy :) Hover over the "minutes ago" string on any of those comments & you'll see the original timestamp. I guess this is a repost, comments got merged, and the "minutes ago" strings are cached/pre-generated from the old thread?
