Yes and - it would be great to hover/tap to see the original headline. I found myself pulling up the original and the honest versions side by side. The translation makes it funny.

Right now there is a lot of drift between real and honest version, so it's hard to find the original title.

If you click on the comments in the honest version, it'll redirect you to the real version.

This is not "honest", this is mostly just dismissive. The headings are no more neutral and explanatory than the originals, because, I suppose, the intent was just having fun. "We rewrote it in snark so you have to upvote".

Is it wrong, though?

Well, this one is wrong: "I built a language nobody will use just to learn generics"

The comments make it clear that the language author has not yet learned generics by this exercise.

A good Friday morning laugh! I think the tiles are not just honest, they are brutally honest. Some of my fav ones: - Amazon finally adds a feature that has been standard since 2005 - Texas accidentally does something good for privacy Would it possible to add a feature where hovering over a title displays the original title?

If you click into the comments, it takes you to the real HN comments page with the real title

Yeah but I'd need to click each of them, thus the request for that feature.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

To quote Foghorn Leghorn: It's a joke, son, you're supposed to laugh.

The joke was fun the first time. When the joke posts (low effort AI slop no less!) are spammed to HN every week, it stops being fun.

Its on the front page, that means it atttracted attention and was upvoted. If what you are saying was true, these posts would die very quickly and we would never see them.

Maybe its just you who doesnt like them?
