Test comment.
This works because the collapse request is a GET request. Just like the "Show HN: This up votes itself" post [1] from a few years ago, a simple hidden image in any webpage would make the request on your behalf.
Obviously, collapsing threads is merely annoying as opposed to something more malicious like automatically upvoting posts, but I still thought this would be interesting to share.
Don't perform authenticated actions using GET requests, I guess.
