I'm pretty amped about that headline.
- NotYourLawyer 4y agoPlease don’t turn HN into reddit.
- jedberg 4y agoYes let's not ever have any fun here ever when a journalist comes up with a very clever headline. I agree that if every thread had a joke it would ruin things, but the occasional joke when warranted is just fine.
- anoonmoose 4y agoi was willing to ignore the pun i was even willing to pass the thread of puns without commenting, just doling out up and down votes as necessary but "very clever" is a bridge too far, i don't think this even crosses into "a little clever" territory
- deepspace 4y ago> a bridge too far A Wheatstone bridge?
- drewbeck 4y agoI agree. The joke-per-thread count needs to be less than one or HN will devolve into chaos.
- NotYourLawyer 4y agoReddit is legit garbage though.
- deepspace 4y ago> Reddit is legit garbage though That is a pretty broad statement, and a low-quality comment for HN. Ir would be more suited as a comment in a Reddit default sub. As for the quality of Reddit, yes, the default experience sucks, since the demographic for r/popular is mostly high-school kids. Once you unsubscribe from the defaults and subscribe to well-moderated special interest subs, your experience will be completely different.
- imoverclocked 4y ago+1 from my experience on r/flying and r/gliding. I ignore almost everything else.
- tpush 4y agoThe consequences of allowing that is seen in the other responses to the GP: lots of useless fluff comments. So yes, please leave that stuff on reddit.
- jedberg 4y agoSo collapse the one thread it's in?
- imoverclocked 4y agoI don’t think a little light-hearted pun thread turns HN into Reddit, especially when the title of the article itself is a pun. Not justification, simply observation: I would hope that anyone reading the title would get the reference but I’ve been surprised before. This thread is an additional clue to the uninitiated that they may have missed something.
- p_j_w 4y agoI mean, look at the replies underneath GP. They are others just piling on with the puns and adding zero value to the conversation.
- imoverclocked 4y agoThere are many different kinds of value. Humor, even puns, has value to some, even if you don’t value it.
- antibasilisk 4y ago[flagged]
- CamperBob2 4y agoNo need to get all reactive.
- bandyaboot 4y agoNot to worry, if this were Reddit, I would be replying with a Breakfast Club fist pump gif. Not possible here.
- manv1 4y agoHeadline was a bit shocking
- VikingCoder 4y agoOhman, me, too!
- imoverclocked 4y agoI’m reluctant to read into it too much.
- geocrasher 4y agoI came here just to see the reactance to that headline
- hinkley 4y agoIf this is real they could get inducted into the Nobel Prize winner's circle. But the shenanigans this group has previously been involved in will impede their efforts to reach their potential.
- edejong 4y agoIt seems the whole research community is in flux.
