Flagged because it doesn't fit "the narrative".

All that's missing is a 200 comment thread on some Microsoft/Facebook/Google tech from people who don't actually use Microsoft/Facebook/Google tech

The 2013 thread is pure gold.

I really appreciate that I had no idea this was a decade old. The Internet changes every day but people remain the same.

Given the proven track record of our community, it strikes me out how nobody commented about the pretty good replica of the HN's UI already. Sad. On a related note, I will spend all night hacking CSS to prove myself I can do the same. Sleep debt does not scary me out.

I assumed they just cloned the stylesheet.

Unrealistic. Not a single person complained about link not working with JavaScript disabled.

I'm just replying here to piggyback on the top comment and create a pointer to this thread in my CheckRepliesToMyComments page.

Didn't find orthogonal, idempotent, or a rant about correlation vs causation.

The only thing missing is the actual expert making a clueful statement at the very bottom of the page where nobody reads. Possibly downvoted a couple of times.

Queue the hn reply: "Did you actually read the article? There is such a comment (guru3)."

I hate to be pedantic but surely you mean “cue”?

Is it really a parody ? In fact it is mostly pretty accurate and that's why I love Hacker News over any other social media

You do not really need parody sites. You can accomplish the same using rsync and 3 lines of bash.

This is cool (only read the first two lines so far) but if you're really interested in Hacker News Parody software you should check out our startup: https://zombo.com/#HACKER_NEWS_PARODY_DOT_IO

Definitely this changes the game (I am the cofounder of the author of the parent comment).
