- aziaziazi 9mo agoThanks! Digging into your link I found the explanation: > There's one glitch that occasionally confuses people. When the software lobs a story, it displays a rolled-back timestamp—not the original submission time, but a resubmission time relative to other items on the front page. If you see a timestamp inconsistency on HN, this is probably why. Edit: if this is the kind of detail that interests you, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19774614 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19774614 for a more recent explanation. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380
- rendaw 9mo agoI think it also messes up the timestamps on top level replies? It's super confusing, and sometimes you see a reply that's outdated since there's been new new or discussion since, etc.
