So subtle, it flew over my head and is still flying off into the sunset. I genuinly thought it was just someone enjoying collecting rants. (Which, some rants are quite enjoyable to read.)

When I realized I was making a joke it was already too late!

In all seriousness I actually did start to collect HN rants I find funny a short while ago. There is something about elaborate rants that just gets me. Similarly I love elaborate, negative (social media) reviews. They are often way too serious and over the top.

What you're talking about (rants that seem like they should be instant classics, which you save for later amusement) are known in chanspeak as 'pasta' (copypasta). There are many, many classic pasta rants (the Navy Seal Pasta being possibly the most well known). Bless you for keeping our culture alive.
