Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

Please, please, quit submitting this inane crap to HN!!! If you must share this stuff, there's always /. and Reddit for your convenience.

Oops. I submitted mine then saw this request. In hindsight I see this is a horrible thing to do and is not in line with the seriousness we face in the world today. I will stop writing humorous posts and go back to watching the price of silver and purchase a the fresh water tanks I've been thinking about. Looking for a way to vote down submissions...

Seriously. After PGs systems were hacked and all YC applications were deleted last night - this is no time to joke, especially on HN!!!

It is ironic that /. is now mentioned ass a place to dump off your non-tech submissions....

Although, /. has always had a heyday with 4/1. I used to get a kick out of it., but now I am just old and boring.

Can we also skip the submissions asking people not to post things instead of just letting the community decide the same way it's been done for years?

I don't mind them, I just wish they were tagged as such in the headline.

Personally I like the Apple Fool's submissions. I've even been tricked by a few. It's all in good fun and puts some heart in the cold machine that is technology news.

Heh, /. was cool once, and maybe it even still is in some sort of bizarre sense of "cool." But they wandered away from their original focus years ago, and seem to embrace the AFD thing whole-heartedly, so...

You feel this way, others don't agree. Can't you just roll with it?
