Dolphins are interesting. Researchers tried to get someone living with one in a waist high pool all day to teach it language humans could understand. Funding started running out, so the researcher started giving it handjobs and LSD. No luck. Source:

Re:Ask HN: HN is gone, now what? on Friday July 08, 2022 @08:27PM (#32029949)
This is similar to my experience. Slashdot, digg, reddit, then HN. HN hasn't really declined (I think I matured) but I still find some nuggets.

I'd like to see a group like early $PLACE on something like IPFS or whatever to keep the bar high enough.
