Be sure to read that link with showdead.

thedrake’s victorious final comment “ SOLVED!!!!!! I spent several hours looking for an axe or a hatchet or an Ubåt…” is dead.

Possibly because of a heuristic aimed at killing spam posts with too many links.

Thanks! it's https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14673626 and I've unkilled it now.

(It was killed because of the lmgtfy link btw)

I still don't get it. That comment just says they searched google images for axe pics. In Chinese, for some reason. They don't even address the letter Y mystery.
in china because there's 80% chance that ball was made there
is there a way to show [flagged] and [delayed] ?
[flagged] shows on comments when flags significantly outweigh downvotes.

[delayed] shows when a comment isn't being displayed yet because it's still less than N minutes old, where N is the 'delay' setting in the commenter's profile (about which, see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html).

Does that answer your question?

it answered it for [delayed], thanks :) so there is no way to show [flagged] ?
We have different mental models here; in mine, that question isn't well-formed, so I need to know what you mean by it :)
