Hacker News Guidelines

What to Submit

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

This is fun. Fun is allowed on Hacker News, just disappointingly rare.

Mindless fun is not what hacker news is for. There are a million other places in the internet for that. Hacker news is special because it has resisted devolving into yet another "post your memes and brain rot here" website for a good long time.

OP is neither memes nor brainrot.

Satirizing Hacker News has been a thing since its inception.
