I think it has less to do with not having humour/fun, but more to do with wasting our time sifting through what is real and what is not. HN is the place where you discuss things like "Whatsapp bought for $19 BILLION". So by nature, some of the headlines we get on here are a little hard to believe in the first place... throw in April Fools jokes, then we have people questioning if they are reading a real PR piece, or a "joke".
