In other news, the Mars applicants list has radically reduced over 95% in one day.


It's kind of telling of how much Hacker news moderation has fallen off when the only comment adding any real discussion (aaron695) is down voted into oblivion while lame jokes get up-voted.


It seems hacker news isn't ready, or perhaps just not capable of handling this discussion. And yes, the jokes are low-effort juvenile and uninteresting.

The whole claim is suspicious; what comes next? "Did you know you can get pregnant from sitting on a toilet seat?". Ridiculous.

aaron695 is not downvoted, s/he is shadow banned.


A terrible shame how HN shadow bans people. Wouldn't be using it if I didn't remember that this is a site operated by ycombinator with objectives other than facilitating an open and and inclusive social network. Violates the basic principle of decency on how you should treat others the way you want to be treated. i get why and accept it in a way, doesn't mean I like it.


“I’m out.”


They have tried the same urban legend to stop you masturbating in a pool for decades.

It even follows the same pattern of multiple women in one incident could be 'possible'-

Indonesian child protection boss is ridiculed after claiming women can fall pregnant in swimming pools - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8042509/Women-fall-...

I guess that officially rules out #masterbation coin [1] on the ISS, although I guess the accelerometer wouldn't work anyway?
