During Christmas of 2021, a YouTube channel by the name of NationSquid uploaded a video titled "How One Typo Destroyed Thousands of Computers," which focused on the story of a website known as "goggle, "a typosquatting computer virus that infiltrated the web in the early 2000s, targeting users that misspelled the word "Google." To everybody's surprise, a strange glitch appeared in the middle of the video. Viewers were left scratching their heads and with several details missing.
