The framing was not great. "If you hate tik tok, just know that it has only wonderful qualities that are impossible to hate." You might as well be arguing that nobody should hate chocolate ice cream.

If you hate chocolate ice cream, I get you. Just know that chocolate ice cream is one of the most popular ice cream flavors in the world, and for good reason. It's creamy, delicious, and versatile. But why is chocolate ice cream so good?

Here are a few reasons:

- Chocolate is a natural mood enhancer. Chocolate contains a compound called phenylethylamine, which is a stimulant that can boost your mood and make you feel happy.

- Chocolate is a source of antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances that help protect your cells from damage. Dark chocolate is a particularly good source of antioxidants.

- Chocolate is a source of calcium. Calcium is an important mineral for strong bones and teeth.

- Chocolate is a source of protein. Protein is essential for building and repairing tissues.

- Chocolate is a source of fiber. Fiber is important for digestive health.

In addition to all of these health benefits, chocolate ice cream is simply delicious. It's the perfect treat to enjoy on a hot day or to satisfy a sweet tooth. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, reach for a bowl of chocolate ice cream. You won't be disappointed.

So what are you waiting for? Go out and buy a tub of chocolate ice cream today!



The fact that people feel TikTok is a bucket of chocolate ice cream was precisely why I spoke up. It’s a label that feels as out of place as calling HN a basket of Twinkies.

There’s a grain of truth to it. Both are addictive. HN does it so well that the psychological aspects are almost invisible, but they’re there. That karma counter in the upper right is suspiciously impossible to ignore.

Does that erase HN’s merits? I don’t think so.


> Both are addictive.

If this is your takeaway then I picked the wrong metaphor. My intent was highlight that people have baseline preferences, but the post engages in arguing that their tastes are somehow _logically wrong_. I thought chocolate ice cream would be the least objectionable taste but I guess leave it to HN to find a way =)
