Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

For 20 bucks really? Is it a handpump model you dip directly into the toilet water?

Aww damn. Prices went up since I bought mine, but it was $20 when I got something similar to this one :

https://www.amazon.com/SAMODRA-Ultra-Slim-Minimalist-Non-Electric-Adjustable/dp/B08QHTVDM3

That's the link. Everything after the '?' is information encoded in key=value pairs separated by an ampersand (&). It's harmless on its own and it's useful for rendering pages. But big corpos now attach extra info about your browsing session for analytics and advertisements and who knows what else. TikTok, Facebook and Amazon are the most notorious for abusing this. In FB, for example, they use an "fbid=" parameter associated with your account and YouTube uses "si=" so they can track who gets the link from whom.

As a rule of thumb, if the link is obnoxiously long, it's tracking something.

Wow that's crazy thanks

You're welcome! Sorry, I had to edit for clarity. Hopefully it's better explained now and less wordy.
