URL Lengthener

Turn tidy links into gloriously long, ridiculous URLs. Encode destination in base64, add faux folders, emojis, philosophy, and query junk. Includes playful interstitial redirect.

Users expressed amusement at the absurdity of the URL lengthener, noting its "Ridiculous" default setting. The main insight is the humorous exaggeration of link lengths, with one user sharing an example of an extremely long URL.

Another recurring theme in the discussion is nostalgia for long URLs reminiscent of past experiences. One user remarked, "Reminds me of how teachers shared links to online resources back in high school," highlighting a shared connection to the concept of lengthy links.
