Someone’s gotta teach their kids how to prune links. 3/4 of that isn’t needed.

I just figured out how to use that feature and it’s not as clean as manual pruning. You right click on the URL field and choose Copy Without Site Tracking, but it still leaves half the junk.

It’s an Amazon link, so all you really need is the ASIN: b0032hf60m

Please teach me the ways. How does one prune links?

look for the “?” take out anything after it. If that breaks the page, look for the last “&” and keep taking that (and anything after it) until the shortest possible working link emerges. 99% of the time step 1 will work

Sooo, doing some search it seems as if this image is more than a decade old. Unfortunately the amazon link is not working anymore.

Entering the product code on camelcamelcamel however does bring up the RC car: https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0032HF60M

We should do a “where are they now” on this kid.

How else would you know if it’s actually Santa bringing your gifts and not some creep pretending to be him

No, but seriously, as a parent who regularly gets texts and emails of crap that my kids want, teaching them to prune their links is next on my to-do list! It’s annoying AF, but right now we’re focused on the power of the “enter” button to add spaces between items on a list.
