internets
Global computer webs
Internets is a playful or ironic plural of internet, treating the global network as if there were multiple versions.
The usage emerged from internet culture, sometimes mocking unfamiliarity with technology: I found it on the internets.
It can signal casual irreverence or deliberate goofiness about online life.
