This is great but it seems reddit has done something to mess with their date reporting. When looking for recent posts, I might see a result on Google that says it was posted in the last few days, but on clicking the result will actually be from years ago.

Messed up dates, plus irrelevant topics showing up because there are matched snippets in “more posts from…”.

might also be google. I've noticed inaccurate dates that don't appear anywhere for some of my pages. my only theory as to why these were displayed is that google interpreted a (server side) randomly generated number in an inline script as a timestamp (but i can't know for sure that's what happened)
