My courage is strong, I’m willing to support a downvoted comment with another comment or two that I know will be downvoted to hell too…just to hold a mirror up to the humorless folk on here.

You do realise my comment was a joke right? In fact, I believe HN karma exists for the sole purpose of burning it on jokes.

I mean obviously they were being downvoted because it’s nothing to do with the Dutch, it’s just a fart fort.

Is an unfunny joke worth making? Aren't downvotes people telling you they don't find the joke funny?
