I really don’t want to seem like a stickler, but I don’t see how this is relevant to this forum. This is the kind of stuff I saw so often on hackernews that I stopped going to that site altogether. I guess you could argue it fits some sort of hacker culture, but I don’t think it fits into lobsters considering it’s meant to be a tech-focused aggregator.
I come here for programming, OSes, frameworks, libraries, languages, etc, not for dietary commentaries or histories.

Good point.
I thought it was interesting for the exploration of the process of science, but I can see how it reads as outrage fluff.
Lobste.rs let’s you hide stories based on tags to better cater to your wants
Missing the point–which of the two tags here, if filtered, would remove articles like this without collateral damage?
The
practicestag, which is used for lots of helpful perspectives on daily dev problems?The
sciencetag, which is used mainly for fluff popsci articles but occasionally useful things?Filtering doesn’t help us if people keep cramming offtopic stuff under the tags.
I think it would be cool if we could assign custom hotness modifiers to different tags, instead of just outright hiding everything.
