- webnrrd2k 3y agoAlso, and this is pretty minor, but the HN title gives a mixed message -- donuts are delicious! I don't even know what a donut of polution would be, but it would probably be delicious, too. Maybe some kinda' cronut?
- bandyaboot 3y agoIf you search “swirling donuts of pollution”, you’ll see that it was used elsewhere referencing the Post article. There are also links to the Post article referencing that headline. It’s not unusual for online news sources to test engagement with multiple headlines for an article. Though, the “donuts of pollution” headline is admittedly quite ridiculous.
