- mjfl 6y agoYup. The creators are a bunch of crazy nihilists.
- bitwize 6y agoThat's how you know it was a successful prank: enough people fell for it for enough time to make all those commits and docs! See also postmodernism which I still believe to be long-form trolling by Derrida et al., yet has attracted considerable scholarship and wields enormous influence over culture.
