Even though you&#x27;re right that<p>&gt; HN isn&#x27;t a tech-and-startups-only site,<p>it&#x27;s not true that<p>&gt; Anything that grabs HN attention... is appropriate.<p>That&#x27;s why there&#x27;s moderation.  This is written down:<p>&gt; On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one&#x27;s intellectual curiosity.<p>&gt; Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they&#x27;re evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they&#x27;d cover it on TV news, it&#x27;s probably off-topic.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;newsguidelines.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;newsguidelines.html</a><p>I don&#x27;t think this link is of any intellectual interest.  It&#x27;s just cuteness.
