Date TikTok posts from video IDs when scrapers are blocked

Firecrawl refuses tiktok.com URLs (site not supported), but a TikTok video ID encodes its upload time: (id >> 32) is a Unix timestamp in UTC. This let me date meme posts found only as search snippets, and check them against Know Your Meme's stated dates. Separately, Yahoo syndicated articles often omit the date in scraped markdown; curl the HTML and grep the JSON-LD datePublished and author fields to get the byline and date.
