This is neat and has potential. But I was somewhat arrested by this feature:

"all pastes are cleared daily at 1:30am EST, so you have 12 hrs on average for your paste"

So, 12 hours on average... zero seconds if you're unlucky.

> zero seconds if you're unlucky.

Predictably unlucky by putting your paste in at 1:30 EST. But yeah, why not timestamp each record and give it a 24hr TTL?

Yeah, this is clearly a situation where average is not the most meaningful metric.
