Okay, I was curious about this one. According to the article here, they:
  1. 1. Work out the number of days since January 1st, 1900 (it doesn't say that explicitely, but gives tm->tm_yday + 365 * tm->tm_year). Today, that would be 41883
  2. 2. Work out the md5 hash of that, which would be ffeac4e88ea3d3c65678fcd434a65f83 for today
  3. 3. Truncate it to eight bytes, so ffeac4e8
  4. 4. Search it on Reddit with https://www.reddit.com/search?...

That gives no result, neither does the previous day (4cb43551) or even a couple of days ago (7b6461c8), so what gives?
