    but yeah i dunno one simple way to put it is, it's similar to a phone book/phoneline. like every house has a wire for their internet that runs to a node, which has a cord running back to the Internet service provider (or a similar setup. if it's a wireless connection the ISP is sending you that s--- wirelessly, pretty sure via satellites or phone towers, not sure if combo of both or one or the other. also not sure how signals are sent wirelessly fully and im not your dad c---- so probs google it)

    from there it's some super complicated maths s---. like your IP address is your phone number basically, and when you enter a web address for example, it's like your calling the DNS and the DNS will connect your phone number (IP address) to the website's phone number (IP address)

    The internet has always been around. It just took 2000 years for them to figure out we had to unplug and plug back in the main internet router to get it working again

    It's true. That's really why Jesus got killed. He kept putting up political statuses on his Facebook account

    The name "Bluetooth" is an Anglicised version of the Scandinavian Blåtand/Blåtann (Old Norse blátǫnn), the epithet of the tenth-century king Harald Bluetooth who united dissonant Danish tribes into a single kingdom and, according to legend, introduced Christianity as well. The idea of this name was proposed in 1997 by Jim Kardach of Intel who developed a system that would allow mobile phones to communicate with computers.[10] At the time of this proposal he was reading Frans G. Bengtsson's historical novel The Long Ships about Vikings and King Harald Bluetooth.[11][12] The implication is that Bluetooth does the same with communications protocols, uniting them into one universal standard.[13]

    The Bluetooth logo is a bind rune merging the Younger Futhark runes [​IMG] (Hagall) (ᚼ) and [​IMG] (Bjarkan) (ᛒ), Harald's initials
