Because it’s funny.

  No fun allowed on HN

    Fun is definitely not disallowed, you can read the guidelines here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html But it also says: > Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. Which puts your comment in a grey area :) That said, nobody follows rules to the letter, and you can definitely find a lot of comments from me as well that don't follow them strictly, but here is a community and by spending time here, you can surely get a good gut feeling of what's allowed really and what not. Remember: Nobody is here to teach a lesson to anyone, and it can be said that most basically just want some thought put into the comments. Having a hundred replies that says "nice" therefore won't do great.
