Hire you based on that? ... there might be a tad more to the process than that!

> It took me 30 years to understand the "chicken cross the road" joke wait is there a deeper meaning to this joke? now I'm questioning everything.
The other side is the afterlife
There’s no way the people of that generation would have even considered the darker interpretation of that joke. Hell, I’m gen-x, and depressive, and that interpretation never occurred to me.

I don’t buy that interpretation. The joke is super old, like, baby boomer old. They weren’t that dark. They were going around saying things like, “In the year 2000, we’re going to have a base.. on the moon!” There’s no way the people of that generation would have even considered the darker interpretation of that joke.

Yeah, the best part is it blocks control-c so you have to sit through the whole thing or until you figure out control-z. https://github.com/mtoyoda/sl/blob/master/sl.c#L93

You just openly admitted you’re only here to subvert HN because you despise everything about it. Explain why you shouldn’t be banned at this point.
I was banned a while ago. Way back...I just kept posting and eventually I was unbanned. To address your post...uhh..well I dunno where to start. If I despised it I wouldn't bother posting here. I was making a light hearted comment about what this place literally is. It's a news website for people who are interested in or are currently applying for funding from YC. That's why hacker news exists. The fact that it attra…
Anyone who wants to submerge themselves in low IQ “lighthearted” pop culture references has the entire rest of the internet for that. As you know and everybody else knows, if we wanted to see content such as what was submitted here, we’d go to the appropriate subreddit such as /r/PopCultureGarbageCodedIn5Minutes. No one needs your help to find reddit, especially not people who are “lonely and completely disconnected from the world” to borrow the insult you used against everyone on this site.
I don’t know why everyone here is pretending to be unaware that this particular pop culture reference is extremely controversial and inflammatory. This specific meme was a powerful cultural breaking point, evenly dividing people between the 50% who love it and the other 50% who want nothing to do with the people who love it. Many of the latter are lurking in the comment section here but are worried about the consequences of speaking their mind where the former seized control early and planted their flag.
This submission should be treated like a honeypot. Everyone who upvoted OP’s submission or posted a positive comment here is actively participating in a subversive attempt to turn HN into something more like reddit. As a consequence of this, they should be permanently shadowbanned from commenting as well as voting. It’s the only way to ensure that people using HN correctly won’t have their activity drowned out by those who don’t.
Aww, was hoping there'd be an old-school text adventure here!
Hmm, next time! I keep thinking of ways to tie in education to a text adventure. Trying to achieve what Walt Disney said: > I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

Please tell me it's the first, because I'm afraid of breaking my spine while folding in cringe.
