  Or in this case, tomatoes. (My first hn joke. Not sure if jokes are allowed but sure was worth it.)

    I don't get your first HN joke.

      Pomodoro timers are shaped like tomatoes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique

        Wait, is this not the joke? Why's this getting downvoted so much?

        I also read it as "throwing tomatoes", as each commentator was criticizing the previous level as being unproductive.

      "The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. ... Each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for 'tomato', after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that Cirillo used as a university student." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique

    As someone who had never contributed anything to this forum other than mediocre jokes, I can attest it's allowed (but more often than not downvoted to oblivion).
