Google lets you claim a .Dad Dedicated Domain. Cue the dad jokes

    Why wasn’t that from Google new top-level domain empathetic in listening to other people’s problems? Because it thought it was itself domain character in any situation.

    Many of Google’s domain shortcuts are quite practical. Type doc.new into your browser’s address bar and bam! You have a new Google Doc. While some of Google’s recently announced domains focus on productivity, a new option is dedicated to all things fatherhood, embarrassing jokes and all. Welcome “.dad” to the world.

    Maybe it’s been a minute since you considered how “.com” is at the end of most websites. URLs are often auto-populated after a few taps on the keyboard, so users rarely need to type in a full address. While you might go to a “.gov” domain for official paperwork or an “.io” domain for downloadable games, dot com remains the main online destination.

    Will “.dad” revolutionize the way we use the internet forever? Probably not. Will some of the new domains dedicated to dad make you smile? Absolute. Visit shortcuts like jokes.dad, meme.dad, and dad.dad to find collections of normcore humor best enjoyed while wearing a pair of Crocs and cargo shorts.

    The new “.dad” domains contain not only jokes, but also guidance for dads who want to be better parents (mr.dad), better pet owners (dog.dad), and better ass shakers (dance.dad). Go ahead, listen to Christmas music all year round on the pun feliznavi.dad, or waste a few minutes mowing your 8-bit lawn to perfection on classic.dad.

    Do you have an idea for a website with paternity content? Go to get.dad to start the process of claiming a special domain. Maybe you can make all the grill masters laugh with your collection of bratwurst puns? Or maybe you give light-hearted advice to the tired dads who keep falling asleep on the couch during basketball games? How about keeping track of all the worst fashion choices that dads seem to love? Anything fun and fatherly can be included as part of a “.dad” domain.

    Whether your firstborn is still in diapers, your last teen is in college, or you never plan to have kids, it feels good to laugh at silly jokes. For a better online experience, it’s time to drench the internet with some more dad humor.
