That is literally hilarious. "Nobody’s going to download your bullshit app" , "HN will be retired, transition to Google Wallet Anti-Competitively" , "The best interface is no retirement" , "Amazon's homepage was down for 6 hours to boot Ubuntu" , "PHP Sucks But I Like PHP" , "Programming is a Lie" ,""Gangbang Interviews" and "Bikini Shots": Silicon Valley’s Start-Up Machine" , "Ask HN: What colour is your primary ope…

My favorites, almost too good to be fake: - A conversation between two chatbots and how one found out the other company has bigger monitors - Amazon and the adults who get upset about Sparrow’s acquisition - Orin Kerr: Why I Quit My Job to Start the Rest of My Todo List - How to handle 1000s of concurrent users on a cube-shaped planet - My Name Is Me - Supporting your freedom to drink coffee - 15-year-old girl invent…

Two I got in this same category:

- Man places his genome to Github, smartass forks and issues a pull request - Paul Graham consistently says ‘um’ ~7 times per year, audit finds

And this one is hilarious enough to get an honorable mention:

The best one I got was "Aisle50 (YC S11) is a valid ipv4 address"

My best one is "Voyager 1 spots new region at the edge of the iTunes EULA"

Absolutely brilliant. I'm dying.

Here's the best ones I got: "Our office is too slow for programming" "E17 is out after many years in jail, the Internet from the Other Side" "Jack Dorsey: Today Starbucks Signed up for Stallman" "Everything you need to stop fixing bugs in PHP"

Holy crap. I just discovered that development for Enlightenment has resumed. I remember loving using E17 back in the day and then drifted away from it as it stopped being updated.

I didn't realize development had stopped because E17 was in jail.

I was inspired by this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6813162 I find that lookback of 2 generally creates more entertaining titles. Lookback of 3 usually seems to just splice together two titles (which can be hilarious, and is usually more grammatically correct), and lookback of 1 tends to generate more nonsense. Some fun ones I found just now: The Neuroscientist Who Discovered He Was a Teenage Hacker H…

FBI Document: [DELETED] had plan to kill an unresponsive SSH session

Pffft, this is obviously just another internet conspiracy
