Sometimes I’m absolutely mystified by the items that appear at the top of HN.

That's not a bug, that's a feature

I am also confused as to how this is relevant to HN.

		Apparently more than 100 registerd users with voting rights thought it interesting and few to none felt it flag worthy. So, much the same bar was cleared as every other article that makes the "interesting to HN community" grade. Rack that up to more Trekkie-adjacent and metal-heads than you might have expected.

Mystified by the fact that people on HN have interests outside of computers and shit?

		A lot of those non-tech get flagged from the homepage. It’s interesting to see what is allowed to stay and what is not.
