  I think your joke was lost on many people.

    Maybe they're just tired of it. I'm personally a little sick of how every single article I post on willpower or procrastination to Reddit or HN or anywhere else will attract the same damn joke. Like, do you really think anyone hasn't seen that before? Or that everyone doesn't think of it in the first second? (By this point, I've come to see it not as a genuine attempt at humor, but basically like posting 'First!' or pissing on a wall - it's just doing something to mark your existence.)

      Maybe you need to chill out, eat some healthy food, enjoy nature.

        I am only in favor of Gwern doing such things if he meticulously journals and statistically analyzes their effectiveness against alternatives, as is his wont.

      I was downvoted yesterday for criticizing someone's lame joke on an article concerning Michael Jordan, the computer scientist. Guess what the joke involved?
