When a mommy anon and a daddy anon love each other very much, the daddy anon wants to give the mommy anon a special gift, but he doesn't want the mommy anon to know so he gives it a special name.

This, it's basically the exact time that the image was uploaded. We passed a huge all 6s timecode get somewhat recently but I don't believe anyone was able to get it by uploading at the exact perfect time, although I could be mistaken I'd love to have that image if it exists
thats a timestamp, literally just the amount of seconds from Jan 1st, 1970. it's used by computers as a very simple way to tell time because it doesn't care about timezones, leap years, etc. sometimes it's written in milliseconds instead, this one is in seconds and resolves to Thu Jun 26 2025 10:47:20 (in GMT+0000)
4chan filenames are usually in milliseconds (sort of, the "milliseconds" part, so the last three digits, are actually random and not the real milliseconds, to try and prevent collisions, but collisions do sometimes still occur and will cause your post to get someone else's picture). as such, this is NOT a 4chan filename, but it does look similar. the 4chanX extension also has an option that automatically changes filenames in anything you post to be a random somewhat-recent timestamp for anonymity purposes.
