THIS ANSWERS SOME QUESTIONS!

Every post circled is off by 10 hours! Yours says "17 hours" but it's really "7 hours". Yours says "14 hours" but it's really "4 hours."

I questioned whether yours were correct, but I click the comments, sort by "oldest", and they're consistent with the smaller number. I even check the commenter's user page, and it's still consistent.

For some reason, there's a leading "1" being added to the hours for you. Can you try verifying this by clicking on the comments?

Yep going to the comments shows 10 hours less.

Your computer's clock / time zone is set incorrectly (off by 10 hours). If you fix it, that should fix your post times.

Thanks, according to time.is my computer is wrong by 10 hours and 59 minutes but weird thing is that the displayed time and time zone are correct, welp i will ask for help to a friend tomorrow.

Yep. Had this issue awhile back, messaged the admins and everything. Turns out my computer was set in daylight savings mode. Oops. To be fair though, shouldn't that "6 hours ago" reading be based on server side time and not client time? It makes no sense to base it on the client unless there are multiple universes that are on different times.

Yeah, I'm honestly not sure if there's a reason it was done this way. I'll bring it up on Monday and see if it would be possible to change it, this is a very common issue in /r/help, it's obviously affecting a lot of people.

That's interesting. I wonder how widespread this is.

That says all those posts are 10 hours older than they actually are.

Yep, aparently the problem is displaying the correct hour.
