There's something really amiss with this thread. I saw all these comments a day or two ago, but it's saying they are new?

I've seen HN do this once before. It took a post from a day ago and changed all the timestamps to be "current time minus a few minutes". It was this thread [1], specifically the first two comments in this subthread [2] had their timestamps faked. The third comment is from after it had been resurrected with the fake timestamps.

That's right. I posted this one the other day https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30913492

Right, I was noticing specifically SOLAR_FIELDS comment here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30913492#30914165

On both threads it says 4 hours ago. I thought I was going insane because I remember googling Netmaker at the time, and it definitely wasn't today. Clicking into their profile shows the comment '1 day ago'
