I downvote almost all humor here, unlike Reddit where I go out of my way to upvote even unfunny but worthwhile attempts. HN is a high-effort place, relatively speaking. The trick with humor in a comments section is that it’s almost always low effort. > lol I misread the post title as being about boobs > lol I bet his mouth wasn’t the only place they found one > lol Russia > lol North Korea Comments like this are pervasive on Reddit. I’m glad on HN they’re not. When a joke on HN is clever or unique, then I upvote. This happens maybe 3 times a year.
