		darxius on March 5, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Hacker News Parody Thread The point of the article was to focus on the predictability of the HN user base as a whole, not that it would be a plausible outcome. You obviously misinterpreted the author's intentions and you missed: * The fact that it wasn't made to make you laugh * Why do we laugh, what makes things funny? * What is laughter, really? (tongue in cheek, of course)
