Workaround for broken images hosted on Imgur

[[ retro gm ] angel lí ✨]

It's Taurus season so what better time to be my stubborn self and find a work-around for all these broken images that despite being hosted to your Imgur accounts are still borked for some reason. So I did just that because Imgur are dirty little liars!

It's easy! Simply:

1. Right click the broken image icon and open the image in a new tab
2. Edit the url, removing the i. at the start of the URL and the .file at the end (eg. for i.imgur.com/3rjUCVW.png it's now imgur.com/3rjUCVW)
3. Hit enter and load the Imgur page - you'll see it contains a seemingly broken image
4. Hit the three dots > Click Download
5. HUZZAH! The image is saved on your PC.

Full disclosure: I have no idea how long this method will continue to work, but it's worked for me so far. Figured I'd share for those who don't check Slack once it gets lost in the #general ether.
