It's interesting seeing a joke as a top comment and someone downvoted for not getting the joke. I feel as though the voting would have been the opposite on this site years ago.
- Aicy 4y agoYep, as much as I enjoy the occasional humour I don't want HN to become reddit.
- surge 4y agoThey were down voted for the way they remarked on it. "Did you even read the article", berating the OP for missing something obvious (and also apparent just from the headline, not just the article). People make jokes sometimes on here, its not all serious business, I don't think it would have been different years ago. You should get down voted for being a bit rude and simultaneously hypocritical because your criticism is also based on also missing something fairly obvious. The OP didn't deserve that comment, and the commenter should be corrected and have it pointed out they're actually the one making the embarrassing mistake.
- serf 4y agoIt's not about not getting the joke, "did you even read the article?" is an explicitly against the rules comment[0], and it's snide to boot. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
