    I’m sorry, wtf is with that link? 2026/01/01? Links use ISO format so that’s January 1st, 2026.

    i’m guessing NPR got hacked or something?

    Edit: Here’s a link from something on their front page today:

    https://www.npr.org/2024/02/04/1227928003/rising-car-thefts-st-paul-minnesota-fallen-hyundai-kia

    Today’s date, February 4th, 2024.

    Something is wrong here.

    Edit 2: couldn’t find anything weird beyond that, guess it was a glitch like someone said.

      The date on the actual article is correct. And modifying the URL to use the right date just redirects to the same URL. It’s probably just a minor system glitch, not hacking.

        Still suspicious, but so far everything seems good, beyond the link cant find anything else out of the ordinary.

        You’re likely right im guessing, though i’ll still stay cautious of links.

      Maybe because the date in the url is linked to how long the url will remain active, as it’s also a podcast.
