If someone sends you a link check it VERY carefully and don’t click if it isn’t exactly what it seems to be. I remember there was one shock site called nimp.org or something, and you could structure the link as [anything].on.nimp.org and it would send them to a shock site of (I think violent? But can’t really remember) gay sex video, change the size of your browser window, have it move around the screen so you couldn’t close it easily, and play at max volume “hey everyone I’m looking at gay porn”. It quickly became a game trying to structure the sneakiest links that would trick eachother, like wikipedia.on.nimp.org , hiding links, tricking eachother into clicking on shady stuff. I learnt to be very careful clicking on things long before rickrolls existed.

This is great advice and why I find URL shortening services really annoying. I really do want to see what I’m clicking.
