Goatse.
Stealth edit: lemon party.
Tub girl.
Goatse. I'm old.
Yeah, links used to be way more dangerous
Eh. All the link previews have destroyed rickrolls.
Ironically, link previews can help avoid Rick rolls but can hurt security because the link needs to be looked at to generate the preview. If it exploits some flaw (rather than being a phishing thing) or just wants to track if the link has been loaded or grab the IP, then you don't even get to choose to not click it to avoid that.
Eh, you just have to adapt. Rickrolls hidden in valid seeming content, redirects from innocuous looking links, and just link shorteners can all obfusicate the actual content.
A girl In had a crush on sent me the AlbinoBlackSheep "you are an idiot" site that caused a bunch of pop ups. Then she kept sending me links and funny videos and I got all indignant and annoyed because I thought all AlbinoBlackSheep links would be the "you are an idiot" thing.
Upon further review 20 years later she may have been flirting with me.
Anyway that's why I clicked the scam phishing link, boss.
Hot and funny single ladies from the 90s in your area, that love to talk about old internet nostalgia. So what are you waiting for?! Come join us.
Anyways here's a cute funny cat video for anyone who did get rickrolled in this thread so they can forget about it
I have memorised the dqw4 part of the link so I know not to click it
No, Goatse did that.
Nope. I love that song.
Edit: Know what? I'm going to listen to it right now!
It's a catchy song. Here's an acapella cover by Home Free:
A rare self-rick-roll.
I just realized that I'm unable to remember the melody rn. I've heard the song a thousand times...
The internet is never gonna give you up
It sounds a bit like Robo's theme from Chrono Trigger, but slowed down a little.
My least favorite thing about the Lemmy community is that people hide the URLs.
Yeah, you can hover on a computer, yeah, you can change the real URL to something else, however
No bad stop :( You're supposed to be old people, act like you grew up when people were scared of random poisoned links
Most phone browsers will give you a link preview if you press and hold on a link.
You mean Safari right?
Because I haven’t seen this feature elsewhere, not mobile firefox nor chrome.
Oh dang really? My only other experience besides Safari is an old Samsung phone that could detect your finger hovering over the screen and preview the link. That was a neat feature.
My bad, I haven’t used a Samsung phone as of yet.
Doesn’t Samsung have their own browser?
Are there any others?
Some clients show link previews. I use voyager and get previews for all the links at the end of each comment with URL and link text shown. That's especially useful when people add links to a single letter which would be hard to hit otherwise
What is the worst could happen if I click on a random link on a brand new computer?
No, I still click random links to this day.
