This exact chain of interactions is what I come to HN for.
When Meat Loaf died, I commented "His name was Robert Paulsen" (you know, because in death membersbof project mayhem do have names, his name was Robert Paulsen". Someone commented something to the effect of no it wasn't, meat loaf wasn't his real name it was Marvin Aday, and then someone else commented to their comment "It's literally a fucking line from the movie".
I dont know why these layers of weirdness delight me so, but they do.
This is sort of the inverse “Don’t say HN is becoming Reddit”
Reddit has been declining for a long time and even more so the way the algorithm works with the Front Page. Politics and activism there is super amplified
Well actually pterosaurs were way different from birds, and don't even count as dinosaurs. Though they had a downy covering similar to feathers. But they're not bird ancestors.
