DOT COM:

Welcome to Homestarrunner.net! It's dot com!

Neat! I always thought it was a reference to the `/.` you might type in Unix

You mean "./"

I really do mean the root directory! As in, a kinda joke that meant the site was a central place for news, so it would act as a root directory for that

What is the dot for in your `/.`?

It's what you'd use as an arg to `cp` if you wanted to copy the contents rather than the directory, for example.

The self-referential directory inode.
