alt Hacker News> Much better! Some of these even made me laugh out loud. Kale and an enema? Parsley and condoms? Adult diapers and baby food?
> Small orders are less common but we still got some fun ones. Oreos and lube? Sounds like a good time!
Funny to who? Was this rated "for sure funny" by a LLM or what's going on? Why is it funny to buy Oreo and lube? I could understand "contradictions" or something like that (like buying weight loss pills + loads of candy/sodas) could be fun I guess, but just cookies and rubber? Why would someone buying kale and an enema make someone else laugh out loud?

Having to wear adult diapers after giving birth is not unexpected.
Similar reaction. After reading the previous piece, https://rogerdickey.com/in-defense-of-996/, I am left wondering if this is just a very clever bot.

It implies SEX but without saying it out loud, haha, so funny, am I rite my fellow 16 year olds?

You don't get it, it's about the ASS. So funny!
Some people just remain adolescents.
It's "funny" because sex is taboo in puritanical cultures like the US. Obviously you're not going to use the lube on the Oreo's, but it's funny because by putting them next together, one imagines taking out an Oreo, lubing it up, and then... something? It's unexpected and the mind laughs, even though theres a perfectly normal explanation that doesn't involve those two things being together. Same for adult diapers and baby food. They have an elderly parent and a baby in the house, but the terminally online brain jumps to "it's a weird sex thing".
Yes! This is how you do humor. Demand precision. Dissect all the things!
The kale and enema one makes sense, they get so much fiber they get blocked up and need an enema. The parsley and condoms I don’t get but the adult diapers and baby food is probably some terminally online poor souls who “roleplay”. Oreo’s and lube I don’t get, it could be the absurdity that has the writer thinking it’s funny.
yeah the idea of "funny" seemed pretty puerile to me
I mean, I laughed. Soo...
i enjoyed the author sense of play and enthusiasm.
with play they surely gained much domain understanding and source of new ideas.
bad for company and society to enforce the oppressive conformity.
here's how this likely went down:
1. they found the dataset and thought "i bet there are weird order combos i could write a blog post about"
2. they did all the analysis and found nothing all that interesting
3. posted it anyway
