It makes sense that people tend to upvote things thats make them laugh over things that make them upset.

I don’t understand the point of this post, (not your comment that makes total sense and I agree)

You're missing the meta: upvoting stuff like this is ironic shitposting-adjacent, so people upvote it.

Alright, I guess shitposting is not what I’ve come to expect from HN submissions. I also don‘t think it justifies multiple submissions for this one and the flagging of the others.

It's not shitposting, it's ironic shitposting-adjacent.

Sure sure, I get it. And that guy over there isn’t a street sweeper, he’s a municipal sanitation specialist.

Whatever you want to call it is irrelevant to the point made and explained in the previous two comments.
