According to downdetector.com, it wasnt just google. It was the majority of major websites, including Cloudflare, Xfinity, Verizon, Starlink, & AWS too. I wonder if it has anything to do with Chinese or Russian cyber warfare or maybe someone seriously messed up at Google's DNS server trying to delete their puppy pictures folder while hungover:
hungover@google-dns-42069:~$ sudo ls -a
password for hungover:
. .bashrc .ssh
.. Puppies .zshrc
hungover@google-dns-42069:~$ sudo rm -rf /

hungover@google-dns-42069:~$ rm -rf ~/Puppies
