Unfortunately, this comment is only 4 months old, which means it isn't in the data that is separated nicely in individual subreddit files. Instead it requires parsing through a massive 151GB file. Let's see how long it takes me to get the edited comments.

It's been two minutes now. How's it going?

Looks like the data from the-eye.eu/redarcs only goes up to the start of March. But luckily the folks at ArchiveTeam processed the post at a time before the comment was edited. It can be seen here.

I actually started a while before I commented. It seems that the comment isn't actually in the file I downloaded. I might need to get the one before it that is triple the size... I'm not sure if I have the space for this.
