Here is why drugs are good for you

I saw this when i was sober and I didn't get it. Now I'm high as a kite and understand why he changed colors.

You're such a good influence!

This is so ridiculous. I love it.

That still leaves the question: where does he link to?

To rule 34 of Zelda

I miss the days when Link was left-handed.

UwAAAAAAAA!

Um....why did Zelda turn purple. I don't get it.

. . (I'm joking, I know who is Zelda).

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hyperlinks are typically blue and underlined. Until you click/tap them, at which point they turn purple.

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 52 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So you're saying Mario tapped Link

[–] from_D4rkness@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As someone that always customizes their hyperlink colors, it took me a moment to remember that the default was blue and purple to get the joke. If it wasn't for the other comments, I might still be confused.

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What colors do you prefer?

[–] from_D4rkness@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Bright green for unvisited, and light purple for visited. Everything on dark backgrounds. I love nightmode on every website, way nicer on the eyes.

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hahahaha, saw it just after waking up and didn't get it. I just had breakfast and it clicked.

He clicked it too much. Don't worry though it'll return to its previous healthy colour.

Got to delete the cookies

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I get it, I get it, I’m old. Sheesh…

[–] Zucca@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah. I wonder if youngsters of this day get this at all.

Good joke none the less. 😀

Why wouldn't they? Links did not stop turning purple, this still happens very often.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 days ago

Well, lots of webpages apply CSS, either disabling the history coloring entirely or at least choosing different colors. It does still happen with blue and purple, but it's not nearly as obvious anymore that these specific two colors refer to that.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

where? i don't remember the last time I've seen a website without custom styling that overrides this.

[–] herrvogel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

The results of any search engine.

Reddit.

Lemmy.

This really is not a rare thing. At all.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Let the old boomers have their fun.

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago

Actually, now that I think about it, accessed links in Google Sheets only change to a different color of blue.

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 3 days ago

Every wiki ever

Sometimes. He's usually a teenager of vague age. I think TOTK is the oldest he's ever been, and he's somewhere in the 22-25 range.

This weirdo told me his name and I thought he said "Link", I thought that's a cool name

I just misheard him but he flipped out when he realized my misunderstanding

He went by Shaggy and Steve and a different name every time asked, all arounda shady character, but he'd never thought of calling himself Link

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Me: wondering where the sword went and thinking its about link being in rainbow one hit invincible mode.

[–] eselover@lemmy.today 7 points 2 days ago

It is on his back, you can see the hilt through his hat.

It's kinda funny but I needed it explained

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

Links on websites by default turn purple when clicked
