Love it! Any thoughts on supporting different shades too? I like extra cream.

has this become a community thing? Is it considered (by the community members) helpful? Yes to both. If it weren't, I doubt members would continue the practice. I find it useful to know that it may be something I've come across in the past. It also puts it in some context.
Have you considered this may be a form of cargo-cult? This editorializing of the titles is similar to communities that have higher-ups that are equal-but-more-so (mods) that suddenly because of their status decide that their view must be the right one. Mods adding the (publication year) is exactly like saying "hey, I've kind of read this, it's kind of old and you may (not) be interested in it because it's . I have no…

I understand complaints for "not new or current" if the reader is expecting hacker _news_. But unless the expectations changed too much in last years this site is not necessarily about _news_ as it is about _information_. If the link is worth it then the year is irrelevant. If it's not worth it, the year won't save it. Thus, adding the year just satisfies our appetite for novelty.
The reverse for me, a link that's still interesting despite the intervening years is one I'm more likely to click.
This could create a whole digital market for food stains. Mac&Cheese, soy sauce, pesto-drip,...... for those whose keyboard/desk is also their 'feeding station' could be huge. Seriously though - its clever and great to have some put their talent to something with humour instead of lets have the 57th variant of some js thingy. Well done.
I'm wondering if these stains would still be realistic if made on a full black background, and an evenly colored background.
