Friendly reminder: Submissions without discussion aren't considered dupes on HN.

:/

Oh, really? I didn't know this. Sorry.

Then maybe they can be merged once one gains a comment?

Sometimes it will automatically redirect to an already submitted one, but the system is not perfect and you might end up with duplicates like this.

There is literally no reason to merge them if they have zero discussion. Submissions to HN are not a finite resource.
