This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

First guy is saying, "there's no point in trying to figure out the "answer to the universe", it's a lot easier to be happy if you just go with the flow".

This leads the reader to assume that he's got it all figured out and is a relatively happy guy, an assumption that is subverted when asked plainly, "are you happy?"

I don't know that there's a specific take away here, so much as it just being a funny quip in a larger exchange.
