Google Is Down! Search Engine Goes Briefly Offline, Entire World Panics

On Tuesday 29th July, humanity glimpsed the apocalypse.

During approximately one entire minute people glimpsed the future.

Was Google down for a few minutes just now? Forgot everything I once knew in those few worrying moments.

I can't even google 'why is google down' FFS. Oh well, I'll play POGS and go outside in the sun.
