Did you know we have these things called computer files that can store information. There's even one in your router specifically for storing IP addresses

Ahh! The files are in the router!l

Queue jumping up and down like a monkey trying to rip apart my router in order to reach a website

Ah, you're right, I should just look up IP addresses in my NAT table. Maybe I should add comments to it so I know which IP is which.

yep literally this. don't most routers nowadays have a dns server with a hosts file you can edit?

No no no, see, DNS is bad, that's the whole point. No touchy.

Can't have any of that neoliberal stuff, gotta delete the hosts file.
