What's funny about this is that every comment here is calling this useless, yet it's something that's very much in the hacker spirit. Utility is not the end goal of everything.

Well, no... I disagree that this is any viable dialect of canines. Moreover, no cognitive system of canine can corroborate this as a valid dialect of canines. It's English-projection. At best it's mockery of canine dialects.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why build it? Because it appealed to the author, perhaps in a way you can't understand. Why share it? From the comments, I understand that it was shared by someone else, and the original creator didn't intend for it to be put on HN. Why judge it? That's the question I'm trying to figure out while reading this thread.

That doesn't answer my question :p
