This website is inane, juvenile and has no real use. And for all those reasons I love it. Kudos to HN for being a place where I can find things that just bring some silly fun to my life. I remember in the early days of the Interwebs, there was so many sites just like this one. You didn't have to go to FB, IG or some other content mill to find them. Plus, when you did find one, it had the same feeling of excitement as…

This reminded me of the kind of creativity I used to find on site called stumbleupon. Wonder what happened to it?

There are more sites like this one today, by at least an order of magnitude, than existed in the early lift-off days of the Web (~1993-1997). You'd struggle to build a mediocre version of this site in the early days of the Web. And it'd try to eat your browser alive as you used it if someone managed to use early Flash or an applet to shoehorn it onto the Web back then. HN itself is, in part, a link content mill. No d…

There's something to what you're saying, but where are the modern equivalents to DMOZ.org where all those "quirky" sites would be listed in a transparent and easy to browse way? The topic-specific "awesome" lists that people sometimes point to are a piss-poor substitute for what DMOZ made available. Sometimes the present really is worse than the past.

Even cheaper if you cut your own hair. I've already recouped the cost of equipment many times over. Works best when you're not going for some fancy look though and just want something clean and simple.

I give myself a buzzcut every two weeks. 21mm on top, 5mm on the sides and back, slanted cutter on 5 in the trasition zone. If it goes bad I can always do 5mm all over. Hardest is to catch the whispy fuckers around the bald spot. I also do my kids hair, though the girls keep theirs long so thats just a matter of brushing it real neat and make a straight edge. The boy is too small to take to a hairdresser anyway. I al…

I do my son’s hair as well. Unfortunately for me (or maybe him), it’s pretty curly while mine is completely straight, so I’m pretty clueless on how to handle it. If I do it sheet enough it looks nice and clean. The double, counter rotating cowlicks on him makes it difficult too.

Apparently the title is a meme taking from DragonBall Z https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/dont-you-lecture-me-with-your...

I don’t even pay $30 for a haircut…

lol no doubt $15 is top for me (and $5 tip). All I get is a head shave, it literally takes them 5 minutes tops.
