Thank you for this in-depth analysis. We should definitely consider all the points you just raised.

Out of 14,572,116 comparisons made, this is the only post that occurs with ZERO time difference at exactly one hour.
The discrepancy that we’re seeing conveniently happens to be a difference of exactly one hour when dealing with timestamps between time zones on different sites which manage their handling of EST vs EDT differently. This isn’t a discrepancy of 13 minutes or an hour and 2 minutes.
It’s exactly 60 minutes.
Anon above made some excellent points. We are making assumptions about user and server timezones and different time zone handling between different sites.
The odds of finding this are 1 out of over 14 million. And the odds of the exactly one hour discrepancy that we are perceiving being reconciled is relatively high when considering how different sites handle different time conversions differently, along with user and server location.
It’s still highly unlikely, actually statistically implausible, that the lone match is a coincidence, rather than intentional.
So whether you want to call it the [60] or [0] marker or a magical eggplant;
==When the odds are 1 out of over 14 million,
do you believe in coincidence?==
We found 25 total matches within +/- one minute deviation out of 14 million. 9 of those 25 occur exactly to the minute, given their spread, be it 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes. One occurred at zero difference with zero spread.
One out of over 14 million.
There's a 1 in 10,119.525 chance that any two posts will have the same hour and minute mark, regardless of day, if that helps to get a grasp on the odds of this.
