Please, can we not? These weak puns are not even funny, and if HN devolves into Reddit, I have nowhere left to go.

  You can just not read a comment, you know

    You can't know what a comment is before you have read it, so no that isn't a solution.

  It's true but you're not supposed to say it: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    Thanks, yeah I discovered that after I posted. Didn’t the guidelines also used to say something about not making puns or joke threads?
    • debo_ 2y ago
      The guidelines don't say it now, which is what matters.
      • taejavu 2y ago
        And yet, the votes speak for themselves.

          Some puns get upvoted, some don't. I'm happy to take the downvotes when it's not a well-liked one.
