I have rarely seen large groups of humans be accused of excessive consistency over time when it comes to matters of fact and science.

- kergonath 3y agoIt’s not large groups of humans posting on a given HN story. It is entirely unsurprising to have different moods in different threads, because different people with different opinions are driven towards different stories. It’s not actually the same people saying both black and white, it’s just that HN has a polarised audience on some topics, with both sides quite vocal.
