Specifically:

1. Copy code to clipboard.

2. From a shell prompt on macOS,

  pbpaste | sed 's/^/  /' | pbcopy

Linux (Wayland),

  wl-paste | sed 's/^/  /' | wl-copy

Linux (X11),

  xclip -o -se c | sed 's/^/  /' | xclip -se c

Windows (PowerShell),

  Get-Clipboard | % { $_ -replace '^','  ' } | Set-Clipboard

3. Paste into HN.

I've been typing out "-selection clipboard" this whole time!
