The 13 best reactions and memes to get you through the mass internet outage chaos
Er, does this mean we can’t WFH?
Everybody stay f***ing calm. It seems like half the internet stopped working this morning. Surely, only memes and reactions about the internet outage can get is through these trying times.
Users have experienced difficulties with loads of popular sites, including Amazon, Canva, Duolingo, Fortnite, HMRC, Playstation, Ring and Zoom. People are also struggling to use mobile banking apps, such as Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland. Some hospitals have encountered issues with their systems.
The mass internet outage is linked to a problem with Amazon Web Services – a system that many other sites depend on. The Amazon Web Services dashboard confirms they are now “seeing significant signs of recovery” on different services, and they “continue to work through a backlog of queued requests”. Well, that’s something.
Here are the best memes and reaction the internet had to offer (well, the parts of it that are still working) to the mass outage chaos.
