A girl In had a crush on sent me the AlbinoBlackSheep "you are an idiot" site that caused a bunch of pop ups. Then she kept sending me links and funny videos and I got all indignant and annoyed because I thought all AlbinoBlackSheep links would be the "you are an idiot" thing.

Upon further review 20 years later she may have been flirting with me.

Anyway that's why I clicked the scam phishing link, boss.

Rickrolling didn't teach us that, 2g1c made us cautious of clicking random links

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago (2 children)

'twas goatse that taught a young me to be more careful on the internet.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Goatse and tub girl. And I was a whole ass adult who really needed to learn.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Don't forget meat spin!

Between 2g1c, goatse, and lemon party, I learned to always triple check every link I even think of clicking on.

It's about Astronomer Hotlines. But there actual xkcds that at least mention rickrolling, why not use one of them?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Y'know, that probably would have been better, but it was late at night and I just wanted to seize the opportunity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Oh lawd. I gotta enable linl previews.

Nope. I love that song.

Edit: Know what? I'm going to listen to it right now!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

A rare self-rick-roll.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

It's a catchy song. Here's an acapella cover by Home Free:

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I just realized that I'm unable to remember the melody rn. I've heard the song a thousand times...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

It sounds a bit like Robo's theme from Chrono Trigger, but slowed down a little.

KnowBe4, a popular phishing simulation tool, actually has a built-in rickrolling template.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But are entirely defeated if you make a rule in outlooks saying trash any email that contains knowb4 in the header.

Not only do you pass all phishing tests, but you also don't get spammed by them when renewal comes around.

Phishme is the same. Add a rull saying trash as my email containing phishme.com in the header.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

The emails aren't from KnowBe4. They are from your HR or CEO or IT department. The links themselves are obvious on the hover though.

Yeah, links used to be way more dangerous

Child you know not how good you have it with your Richard Roll.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Goatse.

Stealth edit: lemon party.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

That's why you're never gonna give her up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Spooky lady.

My least favorite thing about the Lemmy community is that people hide the URLs.

Yeah, you can hover on a computer, yeah, you can change the real URL to something else, however

No bad stop :( You're supposed to be old people, act like you grew up when people were scared of random poisoned links

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Some clients show link previews. I use voyager and get previews for all the links at the end of each comment with URL and link text shown. That's especially useful when people add links to a single letter which would be hard to hit otherwise

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

No, I still click random links to this day.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Eh. All the link previews have destroyed rickrolls.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Ironically, link previews can help avoid Rick rolls but can hurt security because the link needs to be looked at to generate the preview. If it exploits some flaw (rather than being a phishing thing) or just wants to track if the link has been loaded or grab the IP, then you don't even get to choose to not click it to avoid that.

I have memorised the dqw4 part of the link so I know not to click it

No, Goatse did that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Anyways here's a cute funny cat video for anyone who did get rickrolled in this thread so they can forget about it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

What is the worst could happen if I click on a random link on a brand new computer?

Edit: This should have a more or less concrete answer right? Maybe there is a competition with this idea?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Mostly. I had the cassette. I had the outfit. I click the links.
