My natural instinct to return to the "default" view (as in, how the page looked the very first time before I interacted with anything) was to click the header text at the top (that says "deal with it"). Same as you click the "Hacker News" text at the top to return to the default home page view.

Just as something to be a quick "oops, didn't want to use that image, I want to go back to how the site is when I first visited it", and essentially wipe the state.

The history stuff is secondary, since that was my second instinct after trying to find and hit a "home" button, just from my personal UX perspective.
