I just saw you ask this question yesterday. On your profile it says indeed that this thread is a day old. But here it says it's two hours old. And all of the old responses from yesterday have had their timing reset, "10 minutes ago" -- I definitely remember that boffin comment from yesterday because it made me look up the word.

What happened?

View on HN

You're right. I didn't write my comment today (it was either yesterday or the day before). Yet, I see it says I wrote it 12 minutes ago. Weird.

After I explained what HN is to my son he hacked into the db and started messing with time stamps

But seriously that is strange

I've noticed similar things before a couple of times. (Like a comment changing from a day to 10 minutes old) Maybe they're doing site maintenance or changing stuff at the time...
