Sometimes I’m absolutely mystified by the items that appear at the top of HN.
- Razengan 8mo agoMystified by the fact that people on HN have interests outside of computers and shit?
- Krutonium 8mo ago...Yes. We're all fucking nerds. /s
- afavour 8mo agoA lot of those non-tech get flagged from the homepage. It’s interesting to see what is allowed to stay and what is not.
- JasonADrury 8mo agoDo star trek and boston legal really fall outside of stereotypical HN interests?
- johngossman 8mo agoThat's not a bug, that's a feature
- bgdkbtv 8mo agoI am also confused as to how this is relevant to HN.
- defrost 8mo agoApparently more than 100 registerd users with voting rights thought it interesting and few to none felt it flag worthy. So, much the same bar was cleared as every other article that makes the "interesting to HN community" grade. Rack that up to more Trekkie-adjacent and metal-heads than you might have expected.
- ThrowawayR2 8mo agoThere are a lot of Trekkies here. Star Trek was popular among hackers and nerds all the way back to when it first aired in the late 1960s.
