We are debating, with hushed academic rigour (well some of us are) an article where the author is talking about how they designed and implemented a system to drop hats out of a window at passers by.

Hats.

Out of a Window.

For a joke.

Not a cure for cancer.

Not a peace proposal

Not a way to get people out of poverty

Hats. Out. Of. A. Window.

This hushed "no we mustn't pun or mock" type attitude is one of the main drivers of stupid tech fads

It leads to people in positions of power to write down phrases like "This product isn't seen by our customers as a bridge to the metaverse". The product being a fucking chat app with bulletin board built in. At no point did anyone in the room mercilessly rip the piss out of them. And it shows.

This doesn't respond to my previous comment, making it more noise...
