I like NPR but I wonder why their slugs have that weird bit of code after the date/time

"nx-s1-5092087" looks like a random string that might trigger some automated firewalls or checks

probably a post id. the rest of the slug is for seo. For example this link works fine without slug.

https://www.npr.org/2024/08/29/nx-s1-5092087

The problem is this specific url on twitter (probably due to mass reporting of the link by bots, or a manual ban).
