Prognosticating Alerts from the future

This is just an amusing bit with our forum software.

I have a browser extension that puts idle tabs to sleep. When I woke up a thread from a few days ago, it said I had two new alerts. When I looked, these were the first few:

The times are relative to when it went asleep. I found it amusing that the software had an old time/date attached to the page, but the biggest laugh was that they programmed it to show future dates for things that normally can only be in the past. Likely just a common routine to show relative date/times but gave me a smile.

(Don't take this as a bug report - it's the oddness of my browser extension that puts things to sleep. Firefox with Auto Tab Discard.)
