We don't care about profanity on HN but we do have a problem with clickbait, which "Objects should shut the fuck up" arguably is, so I changed the title to "Objects shouldn't talk". I realize "talk" isn't quite accurate here but "should be quiet" or "shouldn't make noise" felt a bit too bland. Suggestions welcome as always!

Edit: never mind, an obviously better solution is to just de-"the fuck" the original.



IMO it's only clickbait if actual content doesn't live up to the title. I believe this article to be a justified rant and effective reflection about why objects should shut the fuck up. Title matches the tone, content is relevant, no deception.
