This trick happened for real with the HWNDU stunt back in 2017. 4channers found the flag based on the stars in the livestream, along with matching aircraft contrails to flight radar maps. https://youtu.be/vw9zyxm860Q https://youtu.be/vw9zyxm860Q

remember when 4chan figured out the location of a terrorist training camp from one of their PR photos and called in a literal airstrike? I like how 4chan is sometimes described as weaponized autism. https://imgur.com/N7DwWP1?r https://imgur.com/N7DwWP1?r

  Remember when imgur was marketed as an imagehost that doesn't suck? Now i can't read 2/3 of the text because it's just a blurry mess if I'm not manually changing url parameters. I'm using Firefox on Android and I can't find another method to get the full image. Am I missing some button to show the full res image?

    Same exact boat as you. FF Focus on Android and I can't read anything on that post. If you long click the image you see some url parameters, but when I tried to play with them they only made the image smaller and lower quality lol. What ever happened to imgur linking directly to the full size image?

      Add a 0 to maxwidth (6400) and you can read it.

    - Open imgur page - Desktop mode - Change the TLD back to ".com" - tap image with finger Sounds simple, but I figured it out only after running into 3 or 4 other dead ends. For example, desktop mode needs to be in place for forcing the TLD to stick on my phone. Fantastic.

    For imgur on Android, I use ImgurViewer[1], which can display images using apis from a bunch of different sites (imgur, Reddit, gfycat, etc) as well as anything that ends with a common image extension. It's a far superior interface, and ability to swipe it away makes it more seamless, like it's just part of the app you opened it from. For the browsing in Firefox, there's multiple extensions you can use to add the referrer and get the image directly instead of a redirect (see [2], though I'm not sure if it works on mobile) Alternatively, use Rimgo[3], an alternative frontend to imgur. This page also lists several ways to automate redirects from imgur domains.
