For anyone else wondering, I guess Slashdot was an old website like Reddit. Like the "Reddit hug of death"

There's no reason to be this mean to us olds.

Indeed. Especially since HN is probably considered "old and cranky" but the younger generation, who get their dose of language flamewars and JS framework from some other place that I can't know of. (Can you get a decent "common lisp vs scheme" flame on tiktok ?)

Only if you have a Beowulf cluster of tiktoks

Lol I see the old /. nerd are still beating on that old joke.

It was supposed to be a Beowulf cluster of Furbies, right?

Given I spent hours timing my signup perfectly almost 30 years ago so I'd get #404, maybe you're the one being woosh'd.

For anyone else wondering, The Rolling Stones was a popular band.

Still touring 60 years later.

For anyone else wondering, Reddit was an old website where you posted prompts and received comments, like a slow version of ChatGPT.

And yes. Reddit had hallucinations too. Often replied with inaccurate statements with utmost confidence and certainty.

What? Slashdot isn't that ancient. It peaked hardly 15 years back.

> hardly 15 years

In internet terms that's practically the Mesozoic
