Love it.
I laughed more though at the comments to this - one person genuinely not sure if humor or not, and one guy, smart, that somehow managed to figure it out without a /s. Welcome to next generation of software engineers.
- Cyph0n 10y agoYou must be new to the internet. I hope you're aware that people sometimes spout nonsense they genuinely believe in. I know it's HN, but I like to keep my guard up ;) Let's say you saw a similar comment on HN describing why the Earth is flat. Would you have reacted the same way?
- dragonwriter 10y agoIt's plausible that someone could genuinely (if unjustifiably) believe that the Earth is flat. It is far less plausible that they could genuinely believe they have witnesses, first-hand, several instances of a passenger using a cellphone on a commercial flight and causing it to crash, plus instances of navigation and other failures caused by personal electronics.
- Cyph0n 10y agoYeah, I'm going to need some stats on that.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoSometimes a person can keep pretending they believe in the nonsense they write longer than you can believe they're only joking. Such is the Way of the Troll.
