The post you replied to is a reference to Bandit saying "it's just monkeys singing songs, mate", when he goes to the movies with Bluey.

- patch_cable 2y agoAh I missed that. Fair enough then.
- eru 2y agoThe misunderstanding here shows that we need to be careful with in-jokes and references in an asynchronous medium. Even among people who have consumed the media in question. It's even worse with the general public (or even just general HN public).
- bolognafairy 2y agoNo. We don’t need to make conversations so boring as to allow you and your robotic ink to completely unambiguously understand them. For every one person that didn’t get this obvious Bluey reference deep in a Bluey thread, I’m sure that 100 more DID get it.
- eru 2y agoSure, you can optimise for your cool in-jokes, and exclude people. What's robotic ink?
- defrost 2y agoProbably robotic ilk using the more common modern usage of ilk - https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/ilk https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/ilk .. along with an unintended cool in-joke about how dogs can't type.
- eru 2y agoYeah, at first I thought it was 'ilk', but then I suspected that there was yet another exclusionary in-joke hidden somewhere.
