Glorifying vandalism like that feels very very immature. How did this end up here, and why was it upvoted?

  It's a joke.
  • distcs 3y ago
    Still it is not clear why a silly joke needs to be on the front page of HN!
    • ayhanfuat 3y ago
      I see something that makes me chuckle, I upvote it. 20 more people do the same and it is on the front page. Nothing mysterious, really.
      • distcs 3y ago
        It isn't mysterious. It just doesn't match the vibes of HN. I don't come on HN to see silly jokes. And as you can see by the number of flags this post has received to kill it, it looks like most HN readers agree with me.

          Then you’re really not going to like my signature move from the 90s: On the main mail server, echo “jive | more” > /usr/bin/less

          So you're saying that the HN front page should be humorless...
    • tehbeard 3y ago
      Humour that taught me, someone that doesn't touch C, that you can do some interesting / weird things with C... But, you are absolutely right, good sir. This is the internet. And The Internet is Serious Business

    I'm guessing the flags are from people who get mad at xkcd comics and drink percolator coffee as a preference.
    • pschastain 3y ago
      Some folks just don't like to laugh For the record, I make coffee one large cup at a time via the pour-over method

  Simple, it's funny and we should glorify more "potential" fun in this shitty world.
