The profanity made this article stand out to me today. I don't know what that says about me or society as a whole, but it bumped the article from "I should bookmark that for later" to "I'm going to read this now" (I am aware of the irony when the author says "if this is your work time, bookmark this for later") Thanks for posting Pradeep!

It means you're a great target for clickbait, I expect.

Wouldn't have gotten as much attention without it, I think. Personally, I fucking love it.

I tend not to read the content of articles that are using gimmicks or clickbait or edginess to try to get my attention.

I believe the language is intended to appeal to people that concern themselves over details and worry about too much. It's trying to say how simple these things are, and should just be done.
