It's almost, but not quite entirely unlike HN

Ah yes, a bunch of idiots throwing around the n-word and making fun of gay people.

Exactly what I want to see on my front page.

I'm gonna be honest, "We switched from MongoDB to thousands of Chinese children forced to memorize numbers (medium.com)" is amazingly hilarious to me, as much as this thread is just representative of how shitty of a place 4chin is

I liked the reply saying it was deal with GDPR :D.

Interesting mix of respect and hatred for HN on there. i did notice that the apparent haters seemed to obviously spend a lot of time on here.

HN actually contains decent amounts of both so it manages to trigger everyone. >> Anonymous 05/11/20(Mon)18:22:27 No.75862476▶ >>75862409 HN is Marxist in social issues and randians in economic issues.

They like to joke about how HN is SJW but as someone who leans to the right, HN is one of the few online places where I can discuss politics with people of different opinions with being called a Nazi or being banned. The only other online place that I found where I can challenge both mine and other's beliefs has been on r/CMV as of a few years ago

I’m finding this entertaining and even a little amusing in a “strange performance art” kind of way.

Honestly, /g/ is no small part of why I ended up in tech. In 2011 I was a bored econ student spending my nights working programming problems posted to /g/, trying to get gentoo to run on my macbook pro (eventually giving up and 'ricing' crunch bang so I could post pictures of my desktop..) and arguing about things I didn't understand.

It was a fun distraction, but eventually I outgrew it. I'm sure if I dug around I could find my old /g/ folder full of stupid tech memes.
