Being funny is really not what people come to the hacker news comments for. While I appreciate a good chuckle as much as the next person, without more nuanced insight, or thought provoking perspective that I didn't see myself, or sharing relevant technical expertise, it's definitely wasting my time, and WILL get a downvote from me. I would be reddit for the snarky comments and to "lighten up a bit" on the same topic.
