Notable how this is only possible because the website is a good "web citizen." It has urls that maintain their state over a decade. They contain a whole conversation. You don't have to log in to see anything. The value of old proper websites increases with our ability to process them.

There are things that you have to log in to see, and the mods sometimes move conversations from one place to another, and also, for some reason, whole conversations get reset to a single timestamp.

There is some action that moderators can take that throws one of yesterday's articles back on the front page and when that happens all the comments have the same timestamp.

I believe that this is called "the second chance pool." It is a bit strange when it unexpectedly happens to one's own post.
