Great article @victorwho84.

I have been following a carnivorous diet for a year and it's been interesting to see the reaction of people whenever the topic of food is brought up in conversation. I find it especially funny the way vegan or vegetarian talk about what they eat. So, knowing well how it will drive the conversation, I will drop in the fact that I eat animal based products. A silence will follow, then the vegan or vegetarian will start defending their "religion", instead of keeping the conversation they would advance arguments without being asked. This is when I know they've tied their identify to this virtue signaling. Now I use this topic as a heuristic to quickly know if I should avoid those people ;)

whollacsekon Show HN: Amazing Hunt – The coolest products you can actually buy

Currently for the MVP we are not doing anything fancy, the 'hot' list is ordered (desc) by number of upvotes and 'trending' is nearly the same as 'latest' except limited to last 7 days. We will keep monitoring and keep either 'hot' or 'trending' in the future. We want to keep the ranking of each product simple and based on what people are upvoting, so there won't be any hidden scoring.
