Yes 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,

  i 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

    > a bridge too far A Wheatstone bridge?

  I agree. The joke-per-thread count needs to be less than one or HN will devolve into chaos.

  Reddit is legit garbage though.

    > 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.

      +1 from my experience on r/flying and r/gliding. I ignore almost everything else.

        Two of my favourite subreddits as well. Aerospace subreddits in general seem to attract a higher standard of post.

          Interestingly, I am also a subscriber to r/flying. Excellent sub. r/aviation and r/aerospace are pretty good too.

  The 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.

    So collapse the one thread it's in?
