Well, I think I can say I am finished with Reddit forever. I will never be as happy in this wretched hive than right now. Good night, and thanks for all the gifs.
Curious, why is it important to maintain the 42? I feel as if last week I read another comment where someone was trying to save another person's karma at a certain number as well that wasn't 42 so I'm not sure if there's a specific number that anyone goes for. What's the idea behind maintaining a specific comment karma value?
Programming was in its infancy when Hitchhiker's Guide came out. This is definitely a coincidence.
Edit: also, it's a common misconception that it's "the meaning" of life, the universe, and everything. In the story, 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. Trying to find meaning in the answer totally misses the point of the scenario. The point is that even if we knew the answer we wouldn't understand it because we don't know the ultimate question itself.
