it's no vandalism, it's done on purpose:

    //     Never read Hacker News
    // - Aphyr, "Hexing the technical interview"
    if (document.referrer.startsWith("https://news.ycombinator.com")) {
        document.location = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d4/Human_fart.wav"
    }
this also mean that copying the link and pasting it in the address bar will get you no fart sound

childish behavior if you ask me

Yeah, clicking this link is causing my browser to download a "Human_fart.wav", not sure what it actually contains for obvious reasons.
