Feb 24, 2026, 11:58 AMDid you know: despite its apparent massive scale, the Internet is located inside a two-story brick building near Limerick Colbert train station.

Jen, this is.... the internet.

They have Continuity IRA graffiti in London?Besides I know the place. I've walked past it.

Third spruce tree on the lefttezoatlipoca@mas.toFeb 24, 2026, 5:38 PM@rjblaskiewicz @calcius @dmbaturin Yes. The elders of the internet have heard your plea Jenn and have allowed you to borrow the internet for the day.
Jenjetlagjen@gts.phillipsuk.orgFeb 24, 2026, 11:47 PM@tezoatlipoca @rjblaskiewicz @calcius @dmbaturin the Elders of the Internet?
The Elders of the Internet know who I am?!

Ross of Ottawaottaross@mastodon.socialFeb 24, 2026, 1:08 PM@dmbaturin do they let you do takeaway or do you have to surf it on the premises?
T.A. Walkertawalker@mastodon.socialFeb 24, 2026, 1:16 PM@ottaross @dmbaturin I’m guessing you have to wear white gloves first?
M0UAW, ClintClintJayIO83@mastodon.radioFeb 25, 2026, 5:01 PM@ottaross @dmbaturin if you bring a USB stick they'll let you borrow a bit to browse offline but you have to bring it back and be kind, rewind
SofaFernsehFanSofaFernsehFan@swiss.socialFeb 24, 2026, 1:24 PMNaaahhhh.... I believe in another gospel.
Feb 24, 2026, 1:29 PMThis is a very misleading post. Most of the Internet is not actually in the two-story building, but in the massive bunker that goes several kilometres down underneath the building.

Wait, were we lied by The IT Crowd??? 😲

T. J. Bombadilc_dan4th@mstdn.socialFeb 24, 2026, 2:33 PM@dmbaturin The system of tubes is stored in the building next door.

You're all wrong, this is the internet.
Robin BartonRobo105@mastodon.socialFeb 24, 2026, 2:46 PM@dmbaturin I watch the IT crowd so look for a box inside the building
- Ray McCarthyraymaccarthy@mastodon.ieFeb 24, 2026, 3:04 PM
@Robo105 @dmbaturin
Several boxes. Sometimes the cleaner unplugs one.

EndlessMasonEndlessMason@hachyderm.ioFeb 24, 2026, 2:48 PM@dmbaturin
To be fair they also use some of the basement space
🐜antdude@mastodon.socialFeb 24, 2026, 3:19 PM@dmbaturin is it in a box as shown in it crowd tv show?
Sean LynchSeanPLynch@mastodon.socialFeb 24, 2026, 3:26 PMTim Berners-Lee used to live in the apartment upstairs, didn't he?
Bellegray Lanebellegraylane@universeodon.comFeb 24, 2026, 3:27 PM@dmbaturin have they tried turning it off and back on again?
Alex aka MumintrollMumintroll@rollenspiel.socialFeb 24, 2026, 3:34 PM@dmbaturin it's bigger on the inside
AskPippa🇨🇦AskPippa@c.imFeb 24, 2026, 3:48 PM@dmbaturin The place is probably much bigger on the inside. :bd229:
Feb 24, 2026, 4:09 PM@dmbaturin Yesterday I downloaded it. Always nice to have a back-up.
Feb 24, 2026, 4:45 PMThis is where John Mastodon was born, when there was no room at the Inn, and the storefront was just a stable back then before his followers commemorated it as The Innternet
- Daniil BaturindmbaturinFeb 24, 2026, 5:41 PM
@float13 Like with all legends and relics, it's difficult to say for certain.
There are like five sites claiming to be his birthplace, and countless shrines that claim to have his trunk, tusks, collarbones, and other organs, despite the fact that he's repeatedly sighted by his followers with all those organs intact. 
lucaluc0x61@mastodon.gamedev.placeFeb 24, 2026, 4:47 PM@dmbaturin That's completely reasonable: the space inside is clearly vastly greater than the outside.
Catbrainz 🇱🇧🇦🇲🏳️🌈catbrainz@retro.pizzaFeb 24, 2026, 5:08 PM@dmbaturin so they moved it from big ben then?

John McFarlaneJSAMcFarlane@mastodon.ieFeb 24, 2026, 7:18 PM@dmbaturin I'm bookmarking this for the next time capitalisation of INTERNET comes up in conversation.
- Daniil BaturindmbaturinFeb 24, 2026, 8:26 PM
@JSAMcFarlane The all-caps version evades the question of whether it's the global Internet or an internet in the sense of RFC1918 (address allocation for private internets)...
Number6 :syncthing:number6@fosstodon.orgFeb 24, 2026, 7:52 PMSo the Internet, like the TARDIS, is bigger on the inside than on the outside?
Romanrom255@mastodon.socialFeb 24, 2026, 8:16 PM@dmbaturin In my memory it was bigger 🤔
PaulPaul@hades.townFeb 24, 2026, 8:57 PM@dmbaturin that explains this jigsaw then https://meow.social/@stokes/109403625873042706

@dmbaturin it's the nerd equivalent of a van pulling up and a fella asking if you want to see some kittens. Do not enter, tell an adult.
StarkRG@myside-yourside.netFeb 26, 2026, 12:31 PM@dmbaturin Ahh, the Internet has street parking, nice.
Feb 26, 2026, 12:59 PM@dmbaturin That Passat is very pretty. I had a 1993 Passat GLX in that color, first car I ever bought on my own.
- Daniil BaturindmbaturinFeb 26, 2026, 1:47 PM
@gcvsa It's not mine, it probably belongs to some of the elders of the Internet!
Feb 26, 2026, 3:30 PM@dmbaturin Many people make that mistake but bit-strings are really thin and bendy.
