CloudFlare DNS of 1.1.1.1 had the hickup.

As it tradition
It's not DNS
It can't be DNS
it was DNS

According to downdetector.com, it wasnt just google. It was the majority of major websites, including Cloudflare, Xfinity, Verizon, Starlink, & AWS too. I wonder if it has anything to do with Chinese or Russian cyber warfare or maybe someone seriously messed up at Google's DNS server trying to delete their puppy pictures folder while hungover:

hungover@google-dns-42069:~$ sudo ls -a

password for hungover:

.           .bashrc          .ssh

..          Puppies          .zshrc

hungover@google-dns-42069:~$ sudo rm -rf /

[/^X][/^X][/^X][/^X][/^Z][/^V]

hungover@google-dns-42069:~$ rm -rf ~/Puppies

Looks like the outage was localized to certain areas: https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/1h75ppj/fix_it_fix_it_now/

Oh no, some shareholders might have lost some money.

I have heard that Google has never been down for >20 years...
