I learned a few years ago that HN also editorializes by dropping "world's" from titles
Before: Teens break record for world's longest kickball game
After: Teens break record for longest kickball game
- Velocifyer 4mo agoI do actually agree with that change.
- gamegoblin 4mo agoIt occasionally leads to kinda ambiguous headlines, e.g. "China opens world's longest undersea tunnel" vs "China opens longest undersea tunnel" It's a little unclear if it's the longest undersea tunnel in the world, or just in China
- jmalicki 4mo agoIt doesn't give enough recognition to the true longest game of space kickball.
- buredoranna 4mo ago... what a world.
