Bike couriers and hipsters will have an advantage in the post-apocalyptic future, as fixed gear bikes have fewer complex moving parts and break down less often.

- Narretz 14y agoActually, the general populace will profit from well maintained hipster bikes, because hipsters will die in the apocalypse first. You know, before it becomes mainstream.
- klibertp 14y agoI'm curious: will this remark get upvoted because it's genuinely funny, or downvoted because it's too reddit like? Anyway, I smiled. Thanks for this :)
- jholman 14y agoIn my opinion, many reddit-esque comments are genuinely funny. I love pun threads. I'm amused by self-referential hipsterish humour. Etc. This, it turns out, is not relevant. It's not relevant because funny joke comments are worse (from the perspective of ideal HN behaviour) than unfunny joke comments; it's the funny ones that get more replies, and that means more off-topic noise hiding the on-topic signal (where topicality is defined in newsguidelines.html).
