TIL that .sucks is a valid web domain. As I post this, reddit.sucks is available. spez.sucks is available. trump.sucks is registered - eviltoast

Apparently, they’ve been available since 2014.

    With few exceptions, this is where the buck stops with the internet. If ICANN doesn’t recognize you, “the world” can’t associate your IP address to a domain name. Some “alt dns root zones” exist, but they’re either rogue states, bad actors, or even in one case, a crypto grift.
