    You open it up and it’s a PDF.

    The pdf contains a address you have to go to.

    At the address is a single desk, with a woman who tells you that you can only apply online.

      Sounds like how digitalisation works in Germany. Put the form online as PDF, then either require the other side to print and send in or recive via email then print it yourself and file it into a cabinet…

    Plot twist: the job is specifically for a transcriber/translator and requires high level of accuracy.

    I could totally see this as being a thing back in the day before everyone was walking around with a supercomputer in their pocket capable of OCR.

    Obviously this is a silly example, but I really do remember when they would write out full urls with paths like 3 directories deep in magazines and newspapers expecting you to manually enter those urls and visit whatever site. I hated that shit in the early days of the internet in grade school. “http://www.theentireforty-ninecharacterlongnameofthecompany.com/marketingadvertisements/newspapertimes/landingpage79fad5c21e.html” (don’t click that link… i just made it up. It doesn’t go anywhere.) I could barely type but now I have to get every character correct or I might accidentally end up on a black market website or porn somehow (where my fellow Whitehouse dot com victims at?). QR codes and smartphones really are godsend for print media internet ads.

    P.S. I told you it didn’t go anywhere. You feel better now?

    P.P.S. Apparently Whitehouse dot com still functions but is no longer porn. It’s some election betting thing now? Idk.

      It took awhile before engineers also became UX people and were like “ok, but let’s start the project from an end user’s point of view.”

      Unfortunately soon after that, marketers took over as the bosses of the UX people and were like “ok, let’s start this from a ‘how do we get more people clicking the buy now button’ point of view.”

      My first memory of being told to go to a web address was in 4th grade. My teacher wrote a fairly long URL on the board as something those of us who had internet at home could go look at about the lesson she was talking about. So we were expected to write this URL down on paper, and then later type it into a computer. This very slightly predates AOL keywords.

    I wish someone would type that out into the comments, so I could click the dead link and feel a small sense of satisfaction; simply by knowing it was dead before I even clicked it, confirming my suspicion

    But it’s the internet… so 50/50 whether some hero does it for no reason, or someone throws some kinda rick-roll response. Either way, I ain’t typing it out and I can live with the disappointment… sorry y’all, I’ll try and be better next time

      As general rule you should look at where a URL goes as well as what the link text.

      A big ass link that is pointed towards tinyurl should have set off alarm bells for everyone who clicked the link.
