    Can we please have some intellectually stimulating discussion, or thoughtful jokes, or at least lowbrow humor that is somewhat original instead of these reddit-tier tired old memes..?
    • minimaxir 4y ago
      Given the amount of downvoted "republishing public data is the real crime!" comments in this thread, tired old memes are indeed a conversational improvement.

      It's why I prefer HN over Reddit nowadays. For popular posts, you have to scroll so far on Reddit before you hit meaningful discussion. Although the anecdotes and story-telling on Reddit is unmatched.

      Yes the HN cogniscenti have such a fine sense of humor. Why share some of it lads? Nah man, jokes are forbidden on HN.
    • avereveard 4y ago
      yes, but then again I take a point against the fact that everyone is downvoting the person commenting "brilliant" about the joke account, while the joke account is left unflagged.

      Brilliant.

      Man, HN is bursting at the seams with "intellectually stimulating discussions" to whet the appetite of even the most committed intellectual mastorbator. I liked the guy's username and made a remark that it fit the situation well. Rather like r/beetlejuicing. It's nice if HN also takes things a bit lightly from time to time. Not every thread needs to be strict.

    Dude off topic but are you named for Vonnegut's George Helmholtz? If so absolutely excellent s/n, I love that character so much.
    • helmholtz 4y ago
      Sorry, but sadly not. Rather after Hermann von Helmholtz, who made some pretty sweet contributions to thermodynamics.
