I hate to admit that I mindlessly upvote doge-related submissions and comments. Very shaem

I would have almost upvoted this submission, but as it is often the case, the title on HN is complete meaningless garbage.

A much better title would be "Such container - an attempt to document the ins and outs of containers on Linux.". This way I would instantly know what the article is about... I wish there would be some way to add a tldr to the title.

This is really the one thing I hate about HN nowadays. Usually at least a third of the submissiond have completely meaningless titled. For example currently there are "Jitterdämmerung" and "A letter from Transnistria" on the front page. How am I supposed to know what those are about without clicking on them?

(Sorry for the rant...)

Perhaps the mods have been asleep lately? Glad that I am not the only who has noticed how clickbait-ish, or nondescript, some titles are.
As I'm an old man, and have no idea what the kids are up to, I thank the internet that knowyourmeme.com exists.
As I'm a young man who seldom browses 4chan, I'm thankful I hang around communities of people who do, to fill me on all the dank memes.

It's more of a subculture than a generational zeitgeist. By the time you see it among your Facebook friends, much less HN, it's far removed.
