Hacker News Reader

I was only vaguely aware of Slashdot (and never had heard this effect referred to by that name), and at 30, I'm probably more than a decade older than at least someone in this thread. If you want "weird", think of the fact that a baby named after Hurricane Katrina would be old enough to vote in this year's US presidential election.

I get that all the time, as most of my collegues don't get jokes related to TV series that predate them.

I have learned to avoid such remarks, unless surrounded by 40y+ folks.

i used to browse slashdot on my amiga back in the late 90s with iBrowse. what glorious days!
