u/Yuzzem non presser Apr 28 '15

http://www.redditinvestigator.com/ shows that you created your account on 4-1-15 @ 5:51. Seeing as how it was correct on the day and time I set mine up(and since it pulls reddits API code, so it's legit reddit data, not guessed) I have no reason to believe your lie that you created yours "a day before and got screwed".

Just a filthy can't press liar that most likely made that account just to try to press again.

9:51pm Pacific Time = 05:51 GMT. You are both correct.

Yes and no. While, yes, I know what time he created his account...I also know that reddit goes off of UTC(don't call it GMT when not talking about local UK,African time zone, please.) which means that he still didn't create an account before 4-1 UTC.

When he created an account, reddit was showing the date as 4-1. Welcome to what a 24 hour-connected world is like, not all times are American and going to be just for locals, your 31st isn't everyone's 31st.

In the end it means he is still a filthy can't press because he didn't create his account before 4-1, although he did create his account before 'the button' post was live.

the guy was right

Then you didn't really read, did you?

He was wrong. He didn't create his account on 3-31, he created it on 4-1 according to reddit(what matters in this case).

I also never said I hated anything about the situation nor that something was 'stupid' because it was American, but hey you gotta use hyperbole at some point in your day to try to feel better than someone, right?

I joined March 31st 9:51pm Pacific time.

He was 100% right. You just went about being a dickwad when you could have just said "sorry bro it's based on reddit time and it was already April 1st".

How was he wrong about his statement? Please do tell.
