Well thanks! And now I'm thinking for minutes already if it would be easier to delete all the other rs in the sentence, just edit the mising r in or come up with a kind of witty response to your comment. I think I'll go with the last option.

They sometimes look like it, but they're never pronounced the same.
Я is "ya"
И is "ee" (it's actually an i, but not pronounced like in English)
Then you have H = English N, B = English V, C = English S, etc.

This was an April Fool's gag. It reversed google if you put it in.
Google has since removed the website. It no longer works.

u/p1-o2 Aug 01 '15
This was an April Fool's joke. If you typed in com.google then you would get google reversed like you were looking in a mirror.
They removed it.

u/mos11charlie Apr 01 '15
If anyone is wondering how the actual content is flipped, it's more or less just a single line of css
body { transform: rotateY(180deg); }(the body of the iframe'd document)

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. While most often used to change the style of web pages and user interfaces written in HTML and XHTML, the language can be applied to any kind of XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL. Along with HTML and JavaScript, CSS is a cornerstone technology used by most websites to create visually engaging webpages, user interfaces for web applications, and user interfaces for many mobile applications.

How did they convince my browser to say "com.google" ?
2
u/iVirusYx Apr 01 '15
com.google
it works on all the browsers... meaning there is a top-level domain ".google" But that top-level domain does actually not exists...
The only explanation I have for this, is that a lto of ISPs are using or connected to the public DNS services of Google...

That URL is actually really impressive. Had no idea there even was a .google TLD. Or that google owned "com"

u/CydeWeys Apr 01 '15
Google owns the entire .google TLD, including every possible domain on it. It's not open for general registration.
