Not one to click random links. Care to un-abreviate and making this far less clickbait?

It's a Twitter link. Fairly trustworthy, inasmuch as you know exactly where it's going to direct you.

Anyway, imagine a this but single solid color:

Twitter posts are not video clips. The clips are embedded in the posts. The embedding on here fails because you can't embed a tweet.

Take that link, open a new tab, paste it in, and hit enter. Do you just see a video, or do you see the tweet with the video, text from the user, re-tweet buttons, comments, etc.?

Keep in mind, I'm not a programmer and this is all just conjecture. But it looks like Twitter does not let you hotlink their videos, you can only link to the tweet containing the video.

See, this is all stuff a God Avatar could manage, but an overgrown lizard with delusions of grandeur? Not so much. [/crossthreadhijack]

Also, now I want to see but have social media blockers in place.

I looked; here's the video address.

As you can see, its an actual video hosted on twitter and will always have the "twitter.com" address. So it will probably always be interpreted as a tweet by the forum software.

Wait, I thought twitter was X now?

"oh please, Peelee, wipe all the spam blood off your banhammer so it is nice and clean for me" you say?

And even with the blue text, i do want to make it abundantly clear I'm joking. Not about the spam blood. Thing is absolutely soaked with that. Permanently dyed, most likely. Y'all have no idea.

As a frequent reporter of damn near every bot (except on busy days when I feel like screw it, someone else will), as well as a subreddit mod (which will remain unnamed) I absolutely have an idea.

[DaedalusMkV]

I was gonna say, I report bots probably 5 times per week, and I'm willing to bet I'm not even close to the most prolific reporter. The blood of the spammers will water this playground of ours!

On-topic, that costume is either a clever commentary on how ridiculous fashion is, or an excellent example of how ridiculous fashion is.

Speaking of [/crossthreadhijack] this reminds me of something to put in the "Works where you were surprised to learn you were in the minority...". SPAM is really pretty good if you know what to do with it, and is a key component in several comfort food dishes.

And it doesn't have blood. It has slime...kinda.
