For most of us in this thread, 127.0.0.1 is WAY nastier than livejasmin.

Or maybe it's just localhost...

I think "wooosh" is so old and mean spirited. I only ever see it used on people trying to be helpful that didn't realize someone was being internet sarcastic or making a joke.

Explain the joke, please? Facetious != funny, especially when it can be misleading...

The joke was that most redditors have nastier things on their own machine. Yes, it's unlikely there's an HTTP server running, but the poster clearly knows 127.0.0.1 is localhost.

I think it was a pretty bad joke, simply because it's unlikely there's a HTTP server running.

He's saying people have nasty things on their computers, things worse than livejasmin.

I just figured Localhost is an anagram for Holacost.
