I like how there's absolutely no easy way to distinguish different lengthened URLs from each other. Who wants to play roulette? :P

After three iterations I get a 414 Request-URI Too Large. Good job.

Funny. Reminds me of "Thank you for calling A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A Auto repair" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1UzSn1LSro

This is great!

I've been running into a small issue: this website has no problem generating URLs which are too long for itself:)

For instance, I managed to get the following output:

> https://ooooooooooooooooooooooo.ooo/ooooοооoοᴏοoοᴏοoοᴏooοᴏoᴏ...

which gives me a 414 request URI too large.

Thanks! I never run into that issue before but I guess there is no workaround, at least not on Cloudflare. They seem to block url larger than 32KB

This looks like a fun way to send links to your friends. They don't know where they will end up and they're up for a surprise.

Can't wait for someone to rickroll me with these lengthened "o" links.

Besides the joke this lengthener is very useful tu generate url that people will click just because curiosity

Eh, this is definitely one of those "wait for another sucker to describe their experience in the comments" situations. Whatever the dual of "wisdom of the crowd" is called.

Sneaky. I like it.

Zoom links just got prettier ;)

what fun! I love it. oooooooooo
