dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

In addition to everything already suggested, here's another really small one: retype the url for the site but manually make it https instead of http

Most browsers, most web hosts and whatever else now days automatically force everything into https, but if the site is older, not well maintained, or whatever reason the person has, they might be utilizing this type of stuff. There's basically no reason that a publicly hosted website should not have https that I can think of. Locally hosted stuff, sure, but we're talking just random ass webpage perhaps found on google or something? It should go to a https url otherwise something funky is going on.

But yeah, add an s and see. Especially if you've (against the advice of your browser and OS screaming) turned off the forced automatic https redirect. I've turned it off before while messing with stuff and found there are websites still that don't automatically redirect to https if you mistakenly type http. Seems wild now days but it happens
