- pooriaazimi 14y agoI remember this one. I deliberately didn't click on that story or upvote it, because I though it was a linkbaity article - what was the f'ing submitter thinking? I have to click on that link to see if it's something even remotely interesting (and presumably profit such a nasty submitter by more ad-views)? No, thank you. After a day, I thought maybe it's something really cool that's got so much upvotes and then clicked on it and was literally blown away.
