Yes, it's real

Since corrected

(If you're wondering what is going on with my post, the #USA's attack on #Iran is called Operation Epic *Fury*)

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"

@benroyce
So does DDG.

@draken

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

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

@benroyce

@sysop408 @draken

holy shit

MAGA is fucking illiterate

@benroyce either that or they’ve given over all of their cognition to AI to generate shit so that one error becomes compounded in every future cycle.

@draken

@sysop408 @draken

I think our two examples are just the beginning

I expect to see MAGA wearing red "Operation Furry" hats completely oblivious. If anyone points out the error they'll just say "i don't do woke spelling"

I feel bad for actual furries

@benroyce @sysop408 @draken

Jacob Chansley doesn't see a problem with the spelling.

@benroyce @sysop408 @draken You’re surprised?

@MrInappropriate @sysop408 @draken

the thing with stupidity is when you're absolutely floored with how stupid someone is, someone else will yet surely top them

what a world

@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!"

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

@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.

@pwloftus

so it's a real correction

sites do autocorrect redirect?

i guess why not

new to me

@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.

@pwloftus

do you think the web admin is laughing or crying?

@benroyce Sadly... depends on their allegiance at this point. Hopefully laughing :)

@benroyce Web admin had to type and or copy/paste 'furry' into httpd, cloudfront, nginx, or whatever reverse proxy they are using.

It may have already been in the clipboard... no judgement.

One more edit - Given that this is an official government site - I'd venture to guess to make this work the admin had to do this on between 4-8 individual systems/servers.

While I'd love to believe it was a 1 time settings change in a single location, I do not believe it was that efficient. This redirect was tedious work for some poor bastard.

@pwloftus hope they get OT pay
@benroyce It's always underappreciated work. They could purposefully fuck some things up if they decided to.
Rutherford Statement on Operation Epic Furry

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Saturday, U.S. Congressman John H. Rutherford (FL-05) released the following statement on Operation Epic Furry, the U.S. military operation in Iran:“The Iranian regime has set the table for Operation Epic Furry through their forty-seven years of state sponsored terrorism and murder of American citizens. The Iranian regime has continued their pursuit of “death to America” through their continued development of nuclear weapons capable of striking America.

Congressman John Rutherford

@chrisp

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

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

@BenAveling yup

some poor web admin had to scramble for panicking illiterate bigot uncle
