It only takes a little work to answer such things. Both https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=wikipedia.org or https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... lead to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23248733, which contains the answer:

I remember your comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23249126) because I had to decide whether to include it in the merge or not—so I checked the new article to see whether it mentions Cat's Cradle. It does, so I included your comment. If it hadn't, I would have left it where it was, but then many fewer users would have gotten to read it, and the replies it has since received would not exist.
Now my comment makes no sense because the context is gone, and I can't edit my comment to point out why.
