Even knowing (or especially knowing) what Atlas Obscura is, I did not expect an article titled "Threads of God" to be about some freaking pasta, it is definitely misleading.
Titles are really the worst part of HackerNews.
- JoBrad 2y agoI disagree. It’s a captivating title. The BBC article has more narrative and detail, but the Atlas Obscura article goes straight to the point. My first thoughts about the title’s subject were that it must be astronomy, needlework (lace), or computing. It was a pleasant surprise that none of my thoughts were accurate.
