Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I hate it when I get a result from a web search where the preview snippet is enough to show me it's definitely the information I'm looking for, just not enough to actually answer my question because of the character limit on the preview. But visiting the site yields only a dead link, just like in the OP title. But it's even worse when then trying archive.org and it says "Sorry, The Wayback Machine has not archived that URL." It's like "damnit, just show me the rest of the sentence that was cutoff in the search result preview!" But no, it's futile, and despite the fact the information once was right there and is even now teasing you with the incomplete sentence of the search result, there's no choice but to look elsewhere entirely or give up. This happens with surprising regularity.
ooohhh... here's mine.
The same setup: do a search, see the snippet for a link that seems promising, click the link... and absolutely NOWHERE on the page is the snippet.
