Are you being sarcastic?

Wow - apparently asking questions is a bad thing on HN?

The fact that a "slave's" room from 1,942 years ag, resembles the room of a presumably well-educated, skilled and/or technically-focused contributor (as I perceive nearly all contributors to HN), seems rather odd.

So, my question still stands... Is the comment meant to be sarcastic?

Can the the comment be interpreted as:

1. "They didn't have it as bad as we might think"? 2. "My life is little different from a slave of ~2000 years ago"? 3. "I feel a connection with the people/person who lived in that room"? 4. Something else?

Yes, I've seen them all... and "Oh, look, there's some lovely muck over here."

But, I don't see the connection?

Your parent comment assumes the OP comment was made in jest.
