If There Was A Contest For The Slowest Internet, I'd Lose Because I Wouldn't Be Able To Enter It

When the hotel advertises "high-speed internet" but you show up and it's just two ethernet cables you need to physically connect between buildings. Sure, technically it's a "direct connection" with "no router bottlenecks." Next they'll tell me their cloud service is just a USB stick taped to a weather balloon.

The great IPv5 mystery strikes again! That awkward moment when the entire internet collectively decided to jump from IPv4 straight to IPv6, and now we're all just pretending to know why! 😅 Truth is, IPv5 was actually an experimental protocol from the 80s called Internet Stream Protocol that never made it to production. But honestly, it's way more fun to nod along in meetings when someone mentions "the IPv5 situation" than admit you have absolutely no clue. Classic networking humor - where admitting ignorance is scarier than configuring a router with your eyes closed!

The secret to web developer wealth revealed: sending a "Request" and getting paid for a "Reponse" (yes, with that magnificent typo). This is basically the world's simplest business model - ask server for money, server gives money back. If only it were that easy! The real irony is that most webdev boyfriends are actually sending thousands of requests just to get a response that says "404: Money Not Found." The relationship between client and server is the only stable relationship in their lives.

Ah, the infamous Yandex CAPTCHA that's somehow both a security measure and an eye exam from hell. Nothing says "we value your security" quite like forcing you to decipher text that looks like it was written by someone having a seizure while riding a mechanical bull. The irony of a "Security 202" course that requires you to type "delicious erection" to prove you're human is just *chef's kiss*. Somewhere, a security engineer is giggling uncontrollably at their desk while users squint desperately at their screens.

From fictional pirate to actual digital pirate. John McAfee, the chaotic neutral of tech, went from creating antivirus software to becoming the very thing he swore to destroy. Started a security empire, then spent years on the run dodging taxes and authorities while tweeting cryptocurrency advice from yachts. The man literally had "not today" tattooed on his arm when it came to paying the government. If Jack Sparrow had a CompSci degree, he'd absolutely be running some sketchy blockchain startup from international waters.

GASP! The HORROR of finding an Airbnb that's just... HTTP?! Not HTTPS?! My security-conscious soul is SHAKING! 😱 Imagine booking a room where your data travels NAKED across the internet without encryption! That's like sending your credit card info on a postcard and hoping nobody reads it! The web development gods are SCREAMING right now! No SSL certificate? In THIS economy?! I'd rather sleep in my car than connect to that Wi-Fi!
