Discord.py links with box brackets around them

elif message.content.find("{memes") != -1:
    a = "https://imgur.com/Jlhfk4F"
    b = "https://i.imgur.com/seC2lyP.jpg?play"
    c = "https://imgur.com/CZyB2Zz"
    d = "https://imgur.com/N4KQcJ5"
    e = "https://imgur.com/kuDuY0b"
    f = "https://imgur.com/z6uMw0q"
    g = "https://imgur.com/gAa9Poq"
    h = "https://imgur.com/7dh4NFR"
    i = "https://imgur.com/ox8BQqv"
    j = "https://imgur.com/iLMRDZY"
    k = "https://imgur.com/UG0sLCd"
    l = "https://imgur.com/peCVHpF"
    m = "https://imgur.com/XgBE3Pu"
    n = "https://i.imgur.com/zoBayy9.jpg?play"
    o = "https://imgur.com/2wDk09q"
    p = "https://imgur.com/mz62oay"
    secret = random.choices([a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p])
    await message.channel.send(secret)

This is the current code I'm using for a random meme command for my bot. For some reason, the links being sent by the bot comes with box brackets on each side, just like this

Can someone help me?

It’s because you’re using random.choices instead of random.choice. random.choices returns a list of k choices, default 1, while random.choice returns just one every time.

The method random.choices returns a list of results since it is designed to be able to return multiple results. You should instead use random.choice.

You are using random.choices, which returns a list. Use random.choice instead. That returns one element.

secret = random.choice([a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p])

Here are relevant snippets from the Python documentation:

random.choice(seq)

Return a random element from the non-empty sequence seq. If seq is empty, raises IndexError.

random.choices(population, weights=None, *, cum_weights=None, k=1)

Return a k sized list of elements chosen from the population with replacement. If the population is empty, raises IndexError.
