What are the 10 digit numbers in my bashrc_history file

What are 10 digit numbers for every .bashrc_history entry. I never noticed this before even though I have accessed this history before. Maybe I changed something in .bashrc at one time. Anyway, what are these numbers for? They do not seem to be timestamps.

Code:

sudo apt install ranger
#1671403383
sudo apt install chromium
#1671408737
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
#1671409949
sudo nautilux
#1671409956

They are time stamps, but in the UNIX Epoch:

Code:

date -d '@1671403383'

See "man bash" in the paragraph HISTTIMEFORMAT under Shell Variables if you wish a different format.
Or see "man bash" in the section HISTORY for more details.

They look like timestamps.
As of a few seconds ago. date +%s = 1673037106

Is HISTTIMEFORMAT variable set anywhere?

To late...

Near as I can see the UNIX format is unchangeable in the /.bashrc file.
