| My guess is that he took a meme for normal people ("that would make a good band name") and twisted it into a more nerdy version ("that would make a good domain name"). |

| ▲ | NuclearPM 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | That makes sense. I assumed posting on hackernews implies the nerdiness. | | |
| ▲ | mattmaroon 10 hours ago | parent [-] | | Lots of nerds go to regular colleges so perhaps he’s saying he’s extra nerdy. (Though I think at this point we’re overanalyzing, the worst thing you can do to any joke.) | | |
| ▲ | bigstrat2003 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yeah but if you keep analyzing it hard enough, the funniness underflows and then it's maximum funny. |

| Probably:
"band names" -> Science, Engineering, TECHNOLOGY, Math college -> "domain names" Learned about more things tech, started thinking about domains more than bands. |
