Character.ai being mentioned in the same line is a sign of the times.

Well, the actual headline is:

Massive internet outage: Google services, Cloudflare, Spotify all down, users report

Character.ai is only mentioned in the lengthy list of services that are down.

Massive internet outage reported: Google, Cloudflare, Twitch all down

It even swapped in Twitch when I read it at the time. Headlines be changing.

And when I went there, it said Google, Cloudflare, and Frank's Dildo Emporium all down, like of all the random sites, why pick FDE?

Oh shit, a fellow FDE-head in the wild... What do you think of the latest Bad Dragons they just got in? I got one for 50% off, and it was only slightly used by Frank.

It's a joke. I don't think there's really a website called Frank's Dildo Emporium. But if there is, lmk.
