It just says "Paperclips: 30,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000" What does that even mean?

Probably means that you played and completed it some time ago, and the state is still in your browser's Local Storage. (Mine was too)

The atoms in my brain must have been recycled into paperclips

I’ve read there’s a push to legalize cocaine. I’m willing to make Universal Paperclips illegal in exchange for cocaine legalization. Overall harm reduction.

> legalize cocaine

It's legal already, just scheduled and controlled.

A warning to fellow HNers that are not familiar with universal paperclips. Please don’t click the link as it will create a black time hole that will start absorbing your time and reduce your productivity.

Be warned that this isn’t a naive lazy clicker game, it’s an instrument of destruction from the future, created by our paperclip overlords :-)

Reading this while drinking from a universal paperclips mug, I can only sigh and agree.
