         | Agreed. I too want everyone to know that I am very respectable
         | and mature and disapprove of anything inappropriate, especially
         | if it comes from the internet on a site whose sole purpose,
         | (which I knew when I visited it) is to give you unfiltered
         | links other users submitted.

       | This seems like a vector for 1) malicious content (malware,
       | spyware, cryptominers), 2) spam (referral links, MLM sites), 3)
       | offensive content (shock sites, extreme pornography), 4) illegal
       | content (child pornography, terrorist material).

       | I used bit.ly to shorten the URL for urlroulette(wouldn't let me

       | redirect to itself indefinitely with some kind of script or
       | something.

       | Also, thankfully, I got homestar runner and not any of the things
       | mentioned in other comments.

       | querystring on your URL and it lets you keep submitting it.
