Haha I deserve the downvotes, it’s okay. I was being dumb because I thought it was funny.

It's a shame, I realised you were joking and I liked it. I think the idiomatic HN way to indicate this unambiguously but subtly is ending with "/s" for "sarcasm"

It is funny :)

I grew up believing in it (because my parents), and it took me a while to shake. At some point it became more of a superstition, but was still nervous to leave it on overnight...

If you'd like a place with endless jokes and memes cluttering up conversation I hear reddit is fantastic for that.
