The imgur gallery didn't work for me, so what was under the tape?

Kinja'd!!!

OP left a comment stating that it was covering a “2”.

And thanks for letting me know about the imgur link. I can’t duplicate the issue on my end, but if it continues to be a problem for anybody, I’ll try to avoid those in the future. Are the embeds working, at least?
