What's a "permalink" and what happens when one accidentally clicks on it?

So far the room didn't darken and I didn't hear thunder, so I'm assuming the results are more subtle.

1. it gives the specific link to whatever the post is that you clicked on

for example if you detect a troll in gd, you can hit permalink then copy and post the link here in the lounge so we can quickly go see. It goes to the post rather than the whole thread it came from.
