Why can't we have the actual timestamp of the posts displayed by default and the _____ minutes/hours/days ago displayed in the tooltip? Same information as we have now, just displayed differently.

Same information as we have now, just displayed differently. I'll discuss it with the team tomorrow. I just really like timeago since it gives me rough time when a post was made, instead of having to look at numbers and figuring it out :) Is there any particular reason why people dislike timeago? Twitter, Facebook and many popular sites use it today.
It's not so bad when you're only into minutes and hours, but as the time scale increases, it gets more and more imprecise. I wouldn't say that it bothers me, personally, but I'm the kind of person that likes precision, and the date and time laid out in the full timestamp format is both precise and orderly.
I don't dislike the timeago, but switching it to be the tooltip on mouseover instead of the default display would probably cause less furor! Essentially, the default functionality stays the same, while adding the timeago as an option for people who want to see it. I would definitely use it on early mornings when I can't brain enough to do my own math.

Thank you very much for switching the UTC timestamp and timeago timestamp, CCP! I know it may seem trivial to some, but as a person who enjoys precision with the kind of glee typical of STEM, I appreciate it.
