I'm getting an eerie sense of Deja Vu.

I remember reading this exact thread (exact question, exact replies) a few days ago.

But right now it says this question was posted just 6 hours ago (right now the time is 2:35 pm 1st September UTC).

Either I'm going crazy or there's a bug with the time here.

@dang please tell me that I'm not going crazy, or at least that it's just a simple glitch in the matrix.

the thread was boosted, which makes it appear as if it and the old comments were posted more recently than it actually was. search "second-chance pool" to find comments from dang explaining it in more detail.

Oh! Okay! That's reassuring, thanks!

Popular topics sometimes get reposted, with the "submitted" dates reset to reflect that. You aren't going crazy.

> with the "submitted" dates reset to reflect that

Huh. Okay.
