Just the headline sounds like a YouTube brain rot video title:

"I spent 200 days in the woods"

"I Google translated this 200 times"

"I hit myself with this golf club 200 times"

Is this really what hacker news is for now?

200 times?? No, I don't think anybody expected that to produce something good. It's just a other attention grabbing, "I did a thing a ridiculous amount of times!" stunt.
