- nandemo 13y agoBecause enough people upvoted it? I wish it was possible to downvote stories.
- erre 13y agoWell, I won't try to guess why people upvoted it, I can only tell of why I submitted it: the article (which I haven't written, only come across) is not just moaning about a cancelled series. It discusses the science that permeates it, and its geek appeal. Which I thought fitting for hacker news.
- leephillips 13y agoIndeed: I've only watched a couple of episodes, and never got into it. But I was fascinated to read about the "Futurama theorem".
- marknutter 13y agoThankfully it's possible to downvote comments, though.
- cryowaffle 13y agoYour precious eyes can't handle seeing this? It's here because people who read HN are interested in the story.
- eropple 13y agoIf you didn't want to do it, you wouldn't have done it.
- kintamanimatt 13y agoI don't want to file my tax return but I do because there's some benefit to doing so.
- eropple 13y agoAnd there's no benefit to whining (and I do characterize it thus) about what other people find interesting on HN. If you think it sucks, flag it. Obviously not many people thought it sucked.
