Hey! Get off my lawn! The thing I like about HN is that humor is appreciated but you have to work much harder to make it original and topical. Posting a link

Posting a link to someone elses humor doesn't fit the spirit of HN ( to me ). But humorous insights in comments can be golden when well executed. And executed if not golden. I personally enjoy the challenge and the differentiation from other sites.

- drKarl 16y agoWell I guess that it is ok to post humor on HN as long as it is intelligent humor or gives you some insight. It's banal humor which is not desired. I see some links to DailyWTF or XKCD from time to time and no one complains.
