People still use things like bit/ly if they want to track click-throughs for whatever reason. There are some decent stats options available for those sites

Didn't know that, but it makes sense. Since I'm not interested in advertising, it doesn't matter much to me where my click-throughs come from. I can see how it would matter to others.

How does one formalize the metric by which a sappers mine propelled by St. Catherine's wheels is "sillier" than an aircraft carrier made of an artificial iceberg? Does the special ingredient in the iceberg, sawdust, affect the conclusion?

Things that make sparks are inherently sillier than things made of sawdust.
