I'll never understand why HN hates humor so much. You could say it's dumb humor, but a community that can't even tolerate dumb tongue in cheek mischief isn't much of a community at all in my opinion.

Actually, maybe I do. This thread explains it fairly well, I guess: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=575002

A part of me still would prefer the Slashdot way of organizing threads: +1 funny doesn't boost your karma, and (it's been a long time, but iirc) the page can be sorted chronologically instead of by upvotes.

I am all for a good joke but this, like memes, is boring humor.

That's just your opinion. Astonishingly, some people find The Big Bang Theory to be riotously funny while others find it tedious and boring.

Yup, my opinion, and I am allowed to act on it by downvoting such a comment.
