The CS student proudly shows off their "Weather App" running on localhost (127.0.0.1:5500), completely oblivious that they just broadcast their IP address to the world. Except... it's just localhost!

That IP is just pointing to their own computer—like trying to prank call yourself. Every developer's machine has this address. It's the digital equivalent of saying "I live at Home Street, in House City."
