That says "Please don't post substanceless one-liners here."
The joke was _two_ sentences, and I, for one, appreciated it.
If you're going to quote regulations, make sure to bring a gun to a gun fight!
- aziaziazi 2y agoWell I think "one-liner" here adds more weight to "substanceless" and was not indented to be taken literally: - it has no useful meaning in a media you can resize. - adding dots (.) does not noticeably change the meaning, you could replace with a comma : "Oh thanks goodness, I new…", allowing cheating on the fight rules. I don’t think that’s desirable way we want to interact as a HN-user-community (personal opinion) - taking the literal read anyway, I see one line and two sentences right now. It’s a one liner. (not English native, may I missed a secondary meaning?) Dang clarify it bellow the post in linked and cite scott_s, none of which talking about the length of the joke but both referring to noise. I personally also found it funny BUT I also saw like 10 substanceless not-so-funny jokes today on HN. INHM problem is not the joke itself but the emptiness of the post if you take the joke aside.
- maronato 2y agoWell, seeing as GP is still visible 20h later, I’d say not enough people share this view. Which is good, IMO, since one important property of a social system is flexibility.
