This article is currently top1 of HN home. It relates with some male's obsessions with their bodies, but has nothing to feed to one's intellectual curiosity. Flagged.
- vertr 14y agoWhat to Submit On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. The fact that it is on top demonstrates that it is doing the trick.
- gbog 14y ago> The fact that it is on top demonstrates that it is doing the trick. Demonstrate? Really? What about the other possibilities? - An uncatched click-ring pulled it up. - The HN crowd has been tricked to upvote something that do not "gratifies one's intellectual curiosity" (would not be the first time). - This "intellectual curiosity" is misunderstood. I remember a friend's friend who had a big collection of porn. He told us blantly that he did watch them only out of curiosity and interest... Yes. But, you know, I also feel mildly titillated when checking gossips about some topic I am interested in, eg. Mr Facebook wedding pics, and could easily mistake this for "intellectual curiosity gratification", but it is not, or anything is and the filter becomes useless.
- vertr 14y agoPerhaps you should read the article. Your snap judgement about it is incorrect. Whining about why an article is on top of an internet news site is pathetic either way.
