Google suffered a temporary outage and the world went into panic mode – 14 of the funniest reactions
In another sign that the end times are fast approaching, Google services suffered an hour-long breakdown with millions of users across the globe being unable to access their accounts.
Although the search engine continued to work, Gmail, Docs, and YouTube were temporarily knocked offline. Even Google themselves were left locked out of their email.
"Google has been contacted for comment, but one spokesperson said they were unable to access their email."

"Google's websites stop responding" is a 2020s version of the car breaking down outside a spooky cottage in the woods, or maybe of turning on Radio 4 and hearing only static
