He finally defeated life


While normally making jokes after a person's death would be socially questionable, in this case Chuck Norris himself loved the Chuck Norris jokes. For me at least, a good sense of humor is maybe the most endearing personality trait. RIP


Fundamentally, I'd argue that very little should ever be unreasonable or out of bounds to make jokes about; what is important is that it's good humour.

And, as you say, in Chuck Norris' case, it's virtually obligatory.

On a personal level, I couldn't agree more. I do hope that culturally we get to that point at some time :-)


I mean, jokes are made to uplift, intent in joking is important and punching up is preferable to punching down, this being said this didn't apply to chuck Norris that would have already got to the punchline without throwing a single fist.


Giving people reason to laugh while you are old and dying is a superpower. I wish i will have it, too.


52k members... wow


reddit is home to the kind of people (of both sexes) who are highly unlikely to find (or keep) a partner. the only terminally online person I know IRL is being largely ghosted even by his oldest friends.


You are obviously wrong, but that's not the issue here. One can't help wondering what prompted you to say such an unkind thing in the extreme about 1.2 billion monthly active users. On second thought, no need to answer that here. It's the kind of food for thought that is best left undebated.


being unkind doesn't mean being wrong.


Imagine if you could come up with a way to get ‘em to cough up a dollar.

it doesn't answer the first question I have, which is basically "why". not in any sort of hostile sense, just that it would be very interesting to hear the back story behind this move.


I thought I remembered something about that

Good to know that Dead Internet theory hasn't hit Hacker News yet ;)


I love it and I hate it at the same time


Ha! Seems like it tried to read the website's HTML contents and made a guess at what the hidden text would say. Quite funny that it was confident too
