Hi! Sometimes people post awesome stories here, both fiction and nonfiction. They become the sort of thing that many people in this community already know about, yet many new members are not aware of. So they get passed around from person to person, rediscovered and reposted here from time to time.
These stories are often about programming/technology/science/AI/transhumanism/etc, but not always. Mostly they are just about the kinds of things people here really like.
Here's a few examples so you would know what I'm talking about:
