hacker news

A website where unsuccessful entrepreneurs with egos waste time browsing articles and websites, created by wanna-be entrepreneurs with even bigger egos who are trying to build a following.

A place unknown to financially successful entrepreneurs.

Hey Mr. Cuban, did you see that post on Hacker News? <crickets>

Hacker News

A website where over enthusiastic programmers and entrepreneurs ("hackers", as they call it) gather and rediscover old ideas thinking they are novel and congratulate each other in the process. They have "curious" conversations, which is a euphemism for a contest of who can use the most convoluted sequence of words to describe terrible ideas that go nowhere. They share articles and news stories with each other, with the added flavor of grandiose commentary. There is ritual of babysitting new users and reminding them to be gentle and not commit heinous acts such as challenging their terrible ideas.

OMG, I can't stop laughing at this comment thread on Hacker News. Are these people serious?

Hacker News

A BIFI website run by faggots and populated by faggots and faggot wannabes, who think being a hacker is “cool”; not realizing that hackers are the lowest form of techy existence and are always lower than dirt.

Dade: Look at this Jonny! Hackers have shared code on Hacker News on how to program a butt plug!
Jonny: Wow! Let's get f*cked in the a$$! Hacking is f*cking COOL!!!

Hacker News

A shitty company run by Indians that offers Indian service in America. 'Nuff Said!

Tommy: So, this Hacker News website looks like it's from the 80's. Yes, I mean from before the Internet was born.
Jonathan: That's because it was created by Indians. It's as ugly as Bollywood movies, what else did you expect?

Utility beer

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.

Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
