you can't see where you're going, nor do you get any idea what kind of a file you're trying to open. it also almost never really makes a difference how long an url is. if it's clickable, you click it, if not, copy&pasting a 25 character url takes exactly the same time as a 150 char url.

I never even bother to open tinyurls without a clear description.

I was really tempted to turn a goatse-link into a tinyurl, just to make a point. but then I thought of something even more disgusting.

That's horrific! 😲

No one should be forced to endure that kind of visual torture. You should be banned for posting such depravity. 😠

I fully agree. but it was just for an educational purpose, to illustrate what vile, disgusting things a tinyurl makes possible. it's inherently evil.

What I want to know is how a yurl can be made of tin.

A tin yurl is when you are bashing a tin can to emphasize your affirmation.
