I can't believe how easy it was to make money on bitcoin using the link above! A++++++ 100%

[–] tyler@programming.dev 24 points 4 days ago

I literally said out loud as I clicked on this

SpoilerThis better be a rickroll

[–] Michal@programming.dev 20 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I was hoping for this. I was not let down.

[–] voodooattack@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Thanks to your comment I didn’t give up on clicking that link.

[–] mogranja@lemmy.eco.br 5 points 3 days ago

I almost deserted the post

[–] mogranja@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 3 days ago

Never will be

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago

Well played

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

Why is this link purple? Wait, I know why...

[–] parody 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Interesting that online redirect checkers think it’s simply 404, but locally can confirm it goes to YouTube

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

All of these 404 within my android Lemmy client, but work externally. Interesting.

[–] parody 2 points 3 days ago

hmm wonder if maybe your client is doing something good or privacy-focused

This better not be Rick Astley...

I love a cheap thrill!

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Riskiest click of my career!

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

First I read Rickiest click of my career. I think it was a visionary mistake.

β€œLook at me, Morty burp I’m Clickle Rick!”

[–] mogranja@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 3 days ago

Nice. Thanks for sharing

These links should be used when the IT dept tests their users to see if they will compromise the system by clicking on anything.

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Do you need a test? They will.

[–] miked@piefed.social 25 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I've worked in IT. I know most users are idiots.

[–] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 18 points 4 days ago

I'm a user, I know users are idiots.

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Can confirm, as an idiot. IT hates me. But it’s mainly my kids using my Lenovo as a frisbee.

[–] atkdef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 3 days ago

I'm not saying this site is malicious, but I have a feeling that, once this becomes viral and people believe these (existing) links are actually safe, this site may go rogue.

[–] steventhedev@lemmy.world 61 points 4 days ago

this could be better if it used subdomains to an evil extent - extract the main domain intended and use that:

google.com => google.phishy.pc-helper.xyz/whatever-bullshit-key-they-need

Bonus points if it works for any subdomain.

Extra bonus points for a subdomain that includes https and www (e.g. https.www.google.com.phishy.pc-helper.xyz)

ITT: someone posting an actually malicious link

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

people can only see or click on that if they look at the source code because you posted it with an empty link text

[–] parody 13 points 4 days ago

Good job Voyager

[–] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social 37 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] uyanagi@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Given the context, it is actually tempting to click on it... But just in case...

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 10 points 4 days ago

Don't worry, it just takes you to chatgpt, skips the middleman and interacts with the bot directly

[–] thatonecoder@lemmy.ca 28 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] TerHu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

[–] BierSoggyBeard@feddit.online 18 points 4 days ago

Adding this to the list of things I never knew I needed in my life.

[–] Sailing7@lemmy.ml 16 points 4 days ago
