I'm on my phone so can't dig as easily, but you can tell from the item IDs that the Stripe post preceded the Bolt one, and we never change those.

So you change the dates sometimes? :)

Second chance stories have submission time reset IIRC. It’s a routine thing, nothing nefarious.

From memory, I think if you go to the user who submitted the posts “submissions” list it will show you the original time rather than the “second chance time”.

That's true. Only the front page and the /item page show the second chance time.

Edit: also, the timestamp that pops up when you hover over "X days/months/years ago" is always the original submission time, never the second-chance time.
