https://xkcd.com/386/ https://xkcd.com/386/ Seriously though, multiple reasons. Sometimes to ask questions that are both very specific and highly relevant to the post. Sometimes to share an odd thought that passed through my mind once, which I never planned to share with anyone, but turns out this one poster on HN seems like they might be very interested. Sometimes just to crack a dumb joke, knowing that if it makes one person laugh somewhere in the world, it was worth the effort.
