I just took a look into "How to Make People Feel Awkward at Work", and it reads like a Buzzfeed article.

Per-page just a stupid thing like

  "Sing along under your breath to whatever song is playing in your headphones.

  Remember, when you have your headphones on, that means no one else can hear you."
We might as well flag this post.

I wish I could find a list for books more like "The stray shopping carts of easter north america" but less like the just {$wtf/shock value title}.

This is suspiciously low quality for the top of HN.

That said, I do recommend "How to Good-bye Depression: If You Constrict Anus 100 Times Everyday. Malarkey? Or Effective Way?"

    Well, if done quickly, it only takes 2 minutes or so, so it's worth trying I guess. And even if it doesn't work as intended, I guess it helps to control faeces better when we get older.

I'd hoped for more strange fiction novels. There's a Robert Rankin book on the list, I do enjoy his particular odd style.

I was thinking of books like the anarchist's cookbook and how to be a hitman for hire like we read when growing up on the early internet.

Some of those are funny, but "The subtle art of not giving a fuck" isn't really weird. I enjoyed it but it's pretty bogstandard retelling of "How to win friends and influence people" with a couple of the other canonical self help books mixed in, it just also has swear words.
