I'm not seeing a link to Adolf Hitler on the bisexuality page.

edit: it was removed in this change: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bisexuality&diff=prev&oldid=1346990885

Don't think they'll mind that much, dolfie is probably mentioned somewhere on the newly linked page.

the change is to nazi germany, so it is one more click 🤷

has a deep pink stripe at the top for homosexuality, a blue one on the bottom for heterosexuality, and a purple one – blending the pink and blue – in the middle to represent bisexuality

TIL! That’s actually well thought out, I like it.

I'm just sitting here wondering if they forgot the show was about being in Hell

Vox literally refers to himself as the fuhrer in Vox Dei…

Back when Wikipedia first came out there was a brief period where you and a friend would try to start on one page and get to a vastly different page in as few clicks as possible, just using the hyperlinked words. At some point this got turned into internet challenges/speedruns for how quickly you can get from one unrelated thing to another. Clicking on a "bad" link makes it take longer or even gets you stuck so you generally need to actively choose which word to click in a page. In OP you see the result of someone going from Hazbin Hotel to Hilter with a single webpage inbetween.

Honestly Hitler was/is(?) one of the easier end goal pages but to do it in one is still lucky/impressive.

I think you're given a challenge to get from one Wikipedia page to another by following a few links as possible and this is the result of a run.
