Your website has the worst permalinks ever.

> This blog is now STATELESS. The entire post is contained in the URL that you are visiting now. All my "blog" is now is a hard-coded main page that contains links to posts I claim authorship of. Of course the entire post is contained in each of these links. https://joshcsimmons.com/post/H4sIAAAAAAAA%2F3xV227cRgx911cQ...

doesn't this mean I could embed salacious material into a link and fool people into thinking the person who owned this website wrote it?

Yep, Josh has given everyone (apparent) write access to his site.

I saw it the first time as a kid. My friends and I tried to trick each other to see it too. I'm fine. We're fine.

That's right, this is a pro-showing-buttholes-to-children community.

Strictly speaking it's anti-not-showing-buttholes-to-children community but that's a distinction to debate at the next Libertarian conference.

If you're going to do that, you should at least generate shortened URLs as well.

But then it’s not stateless anymore.

Very much NSFW lol https://wordlewebsite.com/sqword

it doesn't work in an incognito window (first thing I tried) but does in a regular window.

@joshcsimmons it seems like sqword is reading local storage on this line:

this.localStorage = n.localStorage || globalThis.localStorage,

which leads to the following error: "Uncaught DOMException: Failed to read the 'localStorage' property from 'Window': Access is denied for this document."

you should do it in a try/catch.

You can't unsee it. You know exactly what it looks like. It etches into long-term memory like a scar that never fades.

Does it though? Maybe we should run a survey asking various questions (which side is the ring? etc) and see if collective memory is actually correct.

Goatse, like Michelangelo's David, should be an exception to normal rules of censorship, due to its status as part of our shared cultural heritage. /s

So if the author fix a small typo in the post, they break all the links to it. The blog is not "stateless", it’s just that its state is stored in the homepage. Having all posts on that page with anchor links would achieve the same thing with shorter links that don’t depend on the content.
