LOL. I removed the emojis - see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27008515 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27008515 - and then expanded all the available items to expand, hid some of the clutter and exported the list to PDF to read through it. Little did I expect that one of these would actually be a joke.
It says a lot about the page design that items that look really similar, with emojis next to them, are indistinguishable from one another and thus information -- or jokes -- can hide in plain sight thanks to design decisions that downplay and don't highlight what might actually be relevant content. The fact that the lists are so long and this is buried down near the bottom of the last list says something about this.
Only one comment of 128 comments mentions the Batman Curse according to a quick CTRL+F. ;-) And if you read that comment, it mentions a missing Law. ;-)
