Huh, that's weird. I submitted at 2025-09-24T23:45:55 and that one was submitted at 2025-09-26T00:14:11, but the link text on mine says "3 hours ago" (currently) if I look at it from the front page but "2 days ago" (currently) if I look at it from my posted page.
I'm assuming it got the HN second-chance treatment but I feel like that doesn't make a ton of sense if it had a major discussion in the intervening timeframe? @dang might be something to look at
Your post got picked for the second-chance pool (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308) - deservedly so! but before it got its random chance at the frontpage, a different submission of the same article ended up getting attention randomly. Does that make sense?
I'm sorry—it's a rare case where the SCP and the dupe detector collide, and it's on my list to fix...

All good! Figured I'd flag it since it seemed a little odd.
Rental agency needs to be criminally prosecuted. Don’t give up until this happens.
