Apparently, this thread has been posted in January 1 of the year 1984. I set up my Discourse forum just yesterday, and Discourse wasn’t even a thing back then.

All other posts in the forum use the correct date and time, just one of them is problematic.

~~It’s a sign that the dystopian future of the internet has finally arrived!~~

Jokes aside, which forum is this happening on? Have you considered deleting that topic and reposting it?

If it’s just one, I would change the timestamp to what it ought to be:
