| Jan 16, 2014 at 21:39 | comment | added | FeRD | As a sidenote to @slhck's comment regarding the hotness algorithm, WOW is the "Related" algorithm sucking even harder when it comes to that question. It seems obsessed with 32-bit vs. 64-bit OS and app questions. (And one genuinely-related question, "How many memory addresses can we get with a 32-bit processor and 1gb ram?") I suppose that may be the fault of the question tagging, which currently consists entirely of the woefully inadequate [64-bit], [32-bit]. | |

| Jan 16, 2014 at 4:56 | comment | added | user13107 | @Paul only thing I found is reddit.com/r/shittyaskscience/comments/1uybhb/… | |
| Jan 13, 2014 at 20:01 | comment | added | Paul | I've looked, but stuff there falls off so fast that I could not find it on my lunch break. Sorry! | |
| Jan 13, 2014 at 19:34 | comment | added | Scott Chamberlain | @Paul can you include the reddit link, I am curious to what is said there. | |
| Jan 13, 2014 at 19:25 | comment | added | Paul | Although I frequently check SuperUser, I found it linked from the front page of Reddit... so I suggest that would be a good starting point. From there, without suggesting your answer is wrong, people often upvote because so many others have already done so. | |

| Jan 11, 2014 at 5:25 | comment | added | Andrew | I wonder if, once there are enough votes, people are inclined to "agree" with what they think must be a good answer because of the number of upvotes. Which is probably more likely, if the answer is short and clever, like the other commenters have said. | |

| Jan 10, 2014 at 11:20 | comment | added | slhck Mod | Your answer also was the first, actually. Or at least one of the first with a good explanation. So a case of FGITW. | |
| Jan 10, 2014 at 9:59 | comment | added | nixda | The magic was/is, you found a funny metaphor for Not-So-Tech-Savvy people which were attracted through Hot network questions. The shortness of your answer is the eye-catcher for them. The other two answers are too long for them » So in short: Jump in, get a laugh, upvote, leave | |
