I'm finding odd things within Twitter data, like creation dates that are impossible for accounts.
For example: twitter.com/mirai_dq10?lan
(Twitter didn't exist in the year 2000). This isn't the only occurrence I've found of incorrect account creation dates within Twitter's DB.

That's where I originally got it. This account has a creation date from 1970: twitter.com/noemie_ovoxo?l

Agreed, that looks like Unix epoch time. The 2000 one is weirder. Seems odd it’s not at a nice round time, like 00:00.00 or 12:00.00 or something.

Yeah, the 2000 date is "954560535" in epoch time. That doesn't really line up with anything interesting that I can think of off the top of my head.

The oldest tweet for that account was Sun Oct 01 02:03:36 +0000 2017 so I'm assuming the account would have been created around that time. It will be interesting to see if a bit flip can create a time around that date.
