Wow - this is being flagged fast. Was near the top, now 2 minutes later, is down to 54 and dropping fast - wonder who is flagging this article?

  It's a stupid story.

    Meanwhile "Lenin was a mushroom" is the first story on the front page.

      That one's quite different; it sounds stupid but turns out to be interesting (if whimsical) and certainly unpredictable, which is a desirable quality on a site that's about intellectual curiosity.

  It's a dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11949278 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11949278, and not a strong story for HN to begin with. That's why the discussion turned generic so quickly.

    (Sigh ... accidental down vote. And I wasn't even trying to click a vote arrow.)

      Unvote is coming.
