Side comment, but I saw this on an HN comment about a week or two ago and since then I've seen it front page here, reddit, and other newsfeeds.

I wonder which of the following apply:

1) It's always been a popular post and I never noticed it

2) It was already catching fire and seeing it on HN was part of that spread

3) It became popular because of HN

Always curious to see the life cycle of how these things develope
