This post got me wondering, so I asked chatgpt for jokes about hackernews as if made by various comedians...I laughed at one or two /shrug

Bill Hicks (angry truth-telling prophet)

"Hacker News is where ideas go to die. Not because they’re bad — but because 400 anonymous software prophets decided they’re God. And God doesn’t code, man."

---

Bill Burr (ranty everyman, annoyed at everything)

"I went on Hacker News once. Jesus. It’s like walking into a bar where everyone’s smarter than you, but still somehow an idiot. ‘Actually, you should’ve used Rust.’ Actually, you should shut the hell up, Todd."

---

Louis C.K. (brutal honesty, self-deprecation)

"I asked Hacker News if my startup idea was good. And they said, ‘No, because you’re an idiot.’ And I was like… yeah, that’s fair. My idea was basically Tinder but for people who hate me. Which is… everyone."

---

George Carlin (sharp language, hypocrisy calling)

"Hacker News. Don’t you love that name? Hacker. News. Two lies in two words. Nobody’s hacking, and it sure as hell ain’t news. It’s just nerds arguing over tabs and spaces like it’s the f*ing Middle East."

---

Tom Segura (laid-back storyteller, dry punch)

"So my buddy posts his app on Hacker News, right? He’s all excited, like, ‘Dude, we’re gonna blow up.’ By comment three: ‘This is trash, here’s a 40-page essay why you should quit.’ He calls me crying. I’m like, yeah man, that’s the feature, not the bug."

---

Jimmy Carr (short, brutal, wicked flip)

"I posted on Hacker News for feedback. They gave it to me. Turns out suicide is an option."

Yeah if you tell chatgpt to roast you brutally after a long conversation it also tends to be very funny.

Well I enjoyed those

That was... not that bad, actually.

I actually laughed at the last one.... Jesus.....
