- marcusb 1y agoI believe the comment you replied to is what is known as a "joke".
- VonGallifrey 1y agoGiven that the commenter left another comment about having been misinformed, I don't think it was a Joke. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44008622 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44008622
