But notably, the current list of lists discussion is the only one containing a list to HN discussions.

A similarly amusing Wikipedia page is the one on recursive islands and lakes [0], where you can find such curiosities as a lake on an island in a lake on an island in a lake.

0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_islands_and_lakes

Sadly google's satellite resolution isn't high enough to see the final island of the worlds only 'island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island in a lake'.

I wonder how one would get there.

I found this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists

Other interesting ones :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_academic_discipline...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_knowledge

But does Wikipedia have a list of all lists that do not contain themselves?

They mention that there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lists_of_lists#cite_no...

The human animal differs from the lesser primates in his passion for lists.

I thought this was going to be a nested collections coding abuse link.

   new List< List< List<String> > >();

I can't think of use case for this.

    new List< List< List<String> > >();

seems a reasonable model of,

    new Table< Column< Row >> ();

You cannot think of a usecase for list of matrices or a usecase for 3-tensor?

Curious that the lists regarding computers, software, and programming is so sparse given that 'software is eating the world'

  Lists of computers
    Lists of mobile computers
    Lists of microcomputers
  Lists of programming languages
  Lists of software
  Lists of websites

Does that make this a supermetalist?

> List of lists of lists: This article itself is a list of lists, so it contains itself.[a]

So yes

Another interesting one, in this regard, would be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-ism

Given the provenance of HN, I was expecting something about Lisp.

If you're feeling listless...
