in your opinion, what would meet the definition of "broke the Internet?" - eviltoast

The term is quite over used in my opinion, it is very often used in hyperbole. Whether it is in terms of popularity and driving traffic to a website or a threat said to break the Internet, it doesn’t seem to live up to the meaning of the term.

    Or the root zone can’t get into their safe for the root certificate again (or can’t meet up due to pandemic again)

      Root zone for DNS is pretty reliable have you seen how many of those there are around the world? https://root-servers.org/

      Root certs are generally offline for security reasons and everything is generated via the intermediate certs.
