Wow, utterly shocking.

You won't believe what this article describes.

Bitcoin millionaire reveals his 1 strange trick in this link.

This article helped me lose 30 lbs using this 1 weird food.

[ghostDancer]

I knew but had to confirm. Bfilliant.

[petra]

You bastard!

[omginternets]

I got a BT warning that I was being scammed. So glad I clicked "proceed anyway" =')

[pm24601]

I got an ad :-)

[throwkeep]

That's why I recommend using https://aaa.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... for your urls.

[ultimape]

Ironically the supicious and fightening url generator thinks that isn't a valid url. Tho it does seem to work in reverse https://aaa.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

[Dangeranger]

This is the sort of project that the "old" internet was best at. I miss these kind of things, so much.

[sunshineforever]

Me too. So hard to find anymore.

Wait, what?

[aws_ls]

Recursion.

[kantrael]

First attempt and what a big result http://www.5z8.info/protocols-of-the-elders-of-zion.doc_z6n2...

[danaris]

This seems like a great way to make people less suspicious of genuinely sketchy URLs...

[Aeolun]

Isn’t that kind of the point?

I can’t imagine anyone actually using this, but it’s good fun.

[deepserket]

Reminds me of Pavlov's experiments

[mro_name]

the one dangerous thing in an Url is the host (precisely: the IP).

Either trust it or don't. What it actually says doesn't mean a thing.

I started trying it out but when the captcha presented me a fourth picture to click on, I gave up.

yikes!

[9dev]

It’s a nice touch for sure. Someone’s got an eye for detail :-)

I love how they don't use SSL.

[junon]

This is magnificent.

I purchased https://m8.fyi. The intention was to create very short urls to put on GIFs/videos, making it easy for people to visit the source (e.g. https://m8.fyi/mon), especially on mobile.

Most avoid it or don't realise it's a URL!

[henearkr]

This is click unbait.

[stjohnswarts]

I was going to try it but they use capcha just because I'm using a VPN. Best wishes on the site though.
