Hi,

click the About button, it says (among other things):

In the playground the time begins at 2009-11-10 23:00:00 UTC (determining the significance of this date is an exercise for the reader). This makes it easier to cache programs by giving them deterministic output.

So this is working as expected. Closing here.
