     "Two days ago" here refers to a date in 2021, which is when archive.org archived the site.

     Seriously, just display the actual date. Trying to be clever and showing a delta just means it will always be wrong. It gets more wrong the longer the browser tab remains open (unless you waste CPU keeping it updated).
