Sorry - I was making a joke that I literally was typing in those words, not replacing them with my own info. Apparently that didn’t land at all, maybe should’ve used quotes.
When you hit rock bottom, know when to stop digging, and when to get a shovel.
For my part, I’ll admit that the setup wasn’t very good. I was trying to be the straight man foil to your bit to the degree I felt your comment permitted, as I’m not “in on the joke,” as it were, at least I wasn’t in on it then. I think HN is a hard venue to do comedy well, as you have to read the room over longer than a single comment thread or post. Your comments were already pretty deadpan and dry, so I think many couldn’t even see it as distinctly humorous rather than snarky or sarcastic or even unfunny if they viewed it as against HN guidelines.
