Man, jokes are not well received on HN.
- gjm11 13y agoThe HN audience is really tough -- it requires that jokes actually be funny before reckoning them a net addition to the conversation. Preferably funny and insightful at once, but I've seen things substantially upvoted just for being very witty. This is a Good Thing because it means HN discussions are less likely to get swamped under an avalanche of cheap jokes. (Cheap jokes are much easier than insight.)
