And just yesterday, I was thinking no one here would need to explain who Mike Judge is to the general audience.
"It's got what plants crave" is a line from his movie Idiocracy. It is directly relevant the discussion at hand, but it's also a zero-effort joke that contributes nothing new.

- SideburnsOfDoom 9y agoI for one got the reference. but HN comment style strongly discourages low-effort jokes. It doesn't add information. I'm not surprised that it was downvoted, whether people "got it" or not. This is fine, HN is not reddit.
- nukeop 9y agoGod forbid somebody makes a joke! This is a professional website, grim attitude is required.

- croon 9y agoYour presumption was half correct, but that movie might be my only blind spot in his oeuvre. Nonetheless I thank you for the clarification.
