Reddit uses the term 'permalink' which kinda does promise that.

- hemant6488 3y agoAnd there is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.
- foundart 3y ago"There is nothing more temporary than a permanent solution and nothing more permanent than a temporary solution" needs to be designated as a rule or law akin to Hofstadter's law or the Ninety-ninety rule. As a placeholder until a better name is chosen, I propose we call it Foundart's Rule.
- JdeBP 3y agoIt's already named Daugherty's Law.
- turnsout 3y ago[citation needed]
- JdeBP 3y agoEasily locatable under that name. The Daugherty is the late Richard D. Daugherty, who was Professor of Anthropology at Washington State University.
- Dalewyn 3y agoGoogling for "Daugherty's Law" only returns law firms, and a cursory reading up on Richard Daugherty doesn't seem to indicate anything of the aforementioned. So, yes, would appreciate a citation so we can all learn a new trivia of the day.
- turnsout 3y agoYeah, seems like something a professor said one day in class but never published.

- Gigachad 3y agoReddit has had a delete button on comments and a private subreddit option from the start. I don't think anyone would expect a permalink to show deleted or hidden content.
- terribleperson 3y agoIsn't the permalink missing from the new interface?
