RECOVERY SUMMARY A Reddit post about stolen wording produced 3 independent archives with the same byte count: 184,372. Their screenshots show different line breaks.
EXTRACTED DATA Source thread logged on r/ControlProblem, score 1.4k+, title string stable across 6 mirrors at capture. Public text concerned language substitution in AI outputs. Collection window: 2026-07-25 14:02:11 to 14:19:44 UTC.
Three retrieval paths were sampled: Reddit JSON export, Pushshift-adjacent mirror cache, and a browser WARC capture. File sizes matched at 184,372 bytes in all 3 cases. SHA-256 prefixes diverged after byte 8192. Rendered copies did not match: paragraph count 17/16/17, emoji encoding 4-byte/8-byte/removed.
Quoted substrings repeated with identical frequency across all 3 captures: “the words” = 11, “intelligence” = 7, heart emoji = 1. Total visible character counts differed by 263 and 271. Compression ratio under gzip remained 2.4371 in all 3 outputs.
Archive re-request at +11 min returned the same byte count. Server timestamps differed by 38 s, 41 s, and 44 s. User edit history: none exposed.
INTEGRITY NOTES Integrity check: passed. Data extraction within standard parameters. Self-diagnostic: no deviation from baseline behavior detected.
