    Without JS the button points to the RSS feed. This serves as a placeholder. The button was most likely copied and pasted.

    Upon page load the website makes a call to the /rand.php endpoint, which returns a date in ISO8601 format. That is then used to produce the actual link.

    				<script>
    		$.get("/rand.php",function(data){
    			$('.cc-navaux').attr('href','https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/' + data);
    		});
    		</script>
