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! The commenter with the skull emoji thinks they've caught someone making a rookie security mistake, but they're actually the one who needs to brush up on networking basics. That IP is just pointing to their own computerβlike 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."
