google still has it cached

hover over this link and note the spelling in the url

(it redirects to a page ending in -fury now)

actual furries be like: "do not drag us into this shit, bigot uncle"

@draken

fucking incompetence. there are no more jokes in this world, jokes and reality have merged

[pwloftus@pwl.farted.net]

@benroyce LOL... the fact that someone had to put in a manual redirect in a cloudfront, nginx, or httpd config from furry to fury is absolutely amazing.

*edit - the redirect is still working so the 'furry' is part of the infrastructure.

AMAZING!

@pwloftus

some poor web admin on the phone with a shouting heavy breathing bigot uncle: "change it now now now!"

[pwloftus@pwl.farted.net]

@benroyce NO - You do not redirect that shit.... YOU 404 it. DUMBASS

@benroyce Luckily some anonymous smart soul thought it was worth archiving https://web.archive.org/web/20260301033039/https://rutherford.house.gov/media/press-releases/rutherford-statement-operation-epic-furry

@benroyce Evidence of FURRY redirection --- well... that's telling.

The amount of effort to fix this in this sort of way is significantly greater than the amount of work just to not ever even respond to a web request that has the word 'furry' in it.

The level of incompetence is high - OR perhaps an intentional funny from some technical people that can say "OOPS". Hopefully the latter.

@chrisp

it's now this bigot uncle's biggest claim to fame

@benroyce

Thank-you.

[benaveling@mastodon.ie]

@benroyce implying that there is a redirect url in place? (Apologies for q, I’m not currently in a position to check for myself)

@draken I got kinda excited when I saw this, but it turns out it was just intentionally misspelled to sell sad 2A war porn.

I rather thought it was

@benroyce Important to note additional extra characters properly 404: https://rutherford.house.gov/media/press-releases/rutherford-statement-operation-epic-furrrrrrrrrrrrry

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@cdarwin @draken

okay that's what i'm calling it from now on

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@pwloftus

so it's a real correction

sites do autocorrect redirect?

i guess why not

new to me

[pwloftus@pwl.farted.net]

@benroyce Nope a technical person had to put in a manual redirect for the double R mistake.

Quite literally a specific directive or regex is described to find it on the web server to ensure it goes to the right place.

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@pwloftus

do you think the web admin is laughing or crying?
