I view this as proof no one on Hacker News has a sense of humor.

Getting downvoted. The lack of humor in Hacker News is astonishing.

Yeah, Hacker News is starting to become as allergic to nuance as it is to humor.

Hacker News doesn't like mild-hearted jokes, apparently. Lesson learnt.

Unfortunately, it seems either my own joke was insufficiently witty or Hacker News is even more humorless than depicted by the memes of it.
Oh well.

Agreed. Hacker News is not Reddit. A joke is fine, but rather predictably, it has turned into a subtree with just jokes/puns.

I'm actually more surprised to see the hacker news crowd actually has a sense of humor. Where has that been hiding for all these years?
