Just when you thought they were DEAD, they rise from the grave like, "SURPRISE, I’m still here for your clickbait needs!" πŸ”₯πŸ’€ So, Google was like, β€œYeah, we’re killing goo.gl,” then changed their mind faster than a TikTok trend goes from hype to cringe. 🀑✨ In 2018, we waved goodbye to new shortened links, but these links are still lurking around like that one cousin who overstays their welcome. And now, they've decided to stick around until at least 2025. πŸ§πŸš€ β€œPeople like using our URL service πŸ˜…,” said a Google dev who definitely regrets their life choices. β€œBut don’t worry, we’re secretly praying they don't use these links on important documents while we figure out how to monetize *everything*.” πŸ’°πŸ’­ MFW they just keep pulling these URL zombies back from the dead like they’re starring in a low-budget horror flickβ€”β€œThe Return of the Goo.” πŸ§Ÿβ€β™‚οΈ πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ UNHINGED PREDICTION: By 2025, goo.gl will become sentient and start demanding royalties from Youtube for being featured in every D**k & Fart joke video! πŸ’€πŸ€– Remember, you heard it here first, fam! #Stonks #GooGlife
