A couple tricky sites

[liamengland1]

Is there a way to get the original images on Thoughtco (or any dotdash sites) or axios? I couldn't figure it out

Example images:

I tried thoughtco a few years ago, but without much luck... I can't find the folder/domain for the original images, but then again, maybe I'm just not looking in the right place?

Though, it looks like there's more than one way of accessing the images:

https://www.thoughtco.com/thmb/zLP5th_BJ2deG5nry9iWINAjzsY=/250x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/GettyImages-583666281-59c80b160d327a001180a8cb.jpg
https://fthmb.tqn.com/zLP5th_BJ2deG5nry9iWINAjzsY=/250x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/GettyImages-583666281-59c80b160d327a001180a8cb.jpg

https://thoughtco.com/thmb/tz173ouMaY_OeCqjP_LAB7UVrWQ=/log-G463221737-crop-56a02de05f9b58eba4af4617.jpg

I'm not sure if this is really helpful though, but I guess it's worth writing down in case it is later. site:ing it -thmb doesn't give any results, and inurl:ing it appears to only give unrelated results (blogs etc.)

I can't find anything for axios too, but from googling, here are some different domains/folders:

https://assets.axios.com/channels/AM-PM.png
https://static.axios.com/img/axios-icon.png

But these URLs don't work:

Should a label "cantfix" be created and then this issue can be closed with it?

I don't really like closing issues, unless it's known to be impossible. In this case, I'll just add the impossible? tag, it's not likely to be fixed, but I've thought that about a ton of websites (e.g. discogs) and have been (happily) proven wrong!
