I’ll take 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 over the bastard child of a mac address and bitlocker recovery key any day of the week.

Sure, but remember your prefix 187.231.91.67.135.47.0.0/16

I hearby propose an IPv6.1. The only change is the written form goes from:

2001:db8::ff00:42:8329

to

128.1.13.184..255.0.0.66.131.41

By doing this, I have changed IPv6 from the strange unwanted alien thing everyone hates, to the new wonder protocol that "just adds more dots" that everyone wants.

I await my FIFA Peace Prize.
