I'm glad there are people who tell jokes, honestly.

This site is a place for serious discussion!

Sometimes people hack contests.

I mean, it's called "Hacker News," right?

Obviously

I must admit, it was totally non-obvious to me that this was a joke.

I got the joke directly but it really relies on the shared culture of oldies who still remember hanging out on slashdot :-)

The part about "no wireless" and "Nomads" didn't clue you in? Not even a raised eyebrow?

People say utterly ridiculous things with utmost sincerity on Hacker News all the time.

Hey gang, I think I found the new HN motto!
