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 months 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 3 months ago (1 children)

So you're saying Mario tapped Link

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I get it, I get it, I’m old. Sheesh…

[–] Zucca@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 months 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.

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 4 points 3 months ago

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

Let the old boomers have their fun.

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

[–] herrvogel@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

The results of any search engine.

Reddit.

Lemmy.

This really is not a rare thing. At all.

more like hotlink

amiright?

[–] from_D4rkness@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months 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 3 months ago (1 children)

What colors do you prefer?

[–] from_D4rkness@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months 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.

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

Back to the past, Samurai Jack

I miss the days when Link was left-handed.

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 months ago

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 3 months 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 3 months ago

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

This is so ridiculous. I love it.

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.
