How was this posted both 2 hours ago and also on the 15th? I got really confused when someone said something about "monday morning" but all the timestamps read 15th.

There's a "second-chance" pool for posts which didn't get a lot of discussion but the moderators feel deserve more. When it's added to the front page again, the timestamps are updated to make it seem like a fresh post, presumably because people will be more likely to comment.

RIP that person's laptop hinge. With use, hinges loosen, and I can't imagine that sort of stress would slow the process.

I like to imagine that the animated gif featured at the top is in fact in real time, not accelerated, and they have long passed the point where this is an issue.

Perhaps that was even the inspiration.
