Comment

I originally read it as just saying 'different instances' and not stating a number of different instances. But that's not the format 4chan uses for a quote reply (I don't remember, isn't there a number sign or something?) and that number would be way too large for a comment ID. So, yeah. I didn't consider that someone could actually go there and find the post since I think of 4chan as /b where it all disappears after 2 hours.

Yeah the format is a bit different, with >> denoting the comment number

Though it could’ve easily been a messed up formatting. I’ve done it plenty of times. Though their formatting is easier than here, where you need that extra empty line for comments to show up on different lines.

I was searching archives and found nothing, assuming it was old enough (and I was lucky enough) that it was archived. Then just searched for the comment number + 4chan and found it. Turns it it is just 20 hours old or so. Only now I realize that the date is right there lol. And it being /g/, it’s much much slower

  Ah, right! The post is, amazingly, from today. Maybe even on 4chan posted by OP.
