- It separates the 41 timestamp bits from the machine and sequence fields, which the page says are shown for curiosity, not proof.
Field notes
The page explains that post IDs since November 2010 use a 64-bit Snowflake format: shifting right by 22 bits isolates the millisecond timestamp, then an epoch offset converts it to Unix time. It also exposes the machine and sequence fields, while cautioning that those fields are internal to X and are shown for curiosity rather than as proof. The tools index separately lists a batch decoder with CSV export and millisecond gaps.
