I've found that HN is overall tolerant of the occasional bit of humor or even snark, definitely to a point where you do not feel constrained.

- idlewords 12y agoI've found it to be a viper pit of humorless aspies
- tptacek 12y agoAre humorless aspies really all that dangerous?
- cloakandswagger 12y agoIndividually, no. In large numbers they'll spark a chain reaction of humorless over-analyzing which consumes and ultimately destroys the herd.
- idlewords 12y agoIt's a pun on asp/viper OH MY GOD YOU'RE ONE OF THEM
- tptacek 12y agoAnd scene.
- defen 12y agoYour comparison of non-neurotypical people to deadly venomous snakes is not only dehumanizing but also incorrect. Sure, if a person bit you, the wound might get infected and eventually cause problems, but it would almost certainly be treatable with a standard first aid kit. A viper bite would require immediate treatment with antivenom to prevent necrosis, limb amputation, or potentially even death.
- hawkice 12y agoI feel this is precisely the type of post HN needs. Faux-sanctimonious high-wire-act humor. I hope you get millions of upvotes.
