It's not limited to Google, now I wonder if this is actually a Cloudflare/other CDN/International Infra issue or is it that so many services use Google Cloud stuff and they are gone too because of it.
I don't, for that I usually rely on search engine or autocorrect. I hate the fact that it is not pronounced as it is written. Because I always go with "Wenesday" on my own.

Currently working fine for me in Pakistan. Btw, you can run https://api.webprobe.org/scan/ in a spare tab in the background and it will periodically check the status of such websites and update the NetBlocks status.
Can confirm, from Yerevan - Armenia.
Internet slow, then slows down to a halt in a matter of 10 seconds. Then it'll work in a burtst of another 10 seconds, and go back to nothing at all, and stay like that for minutes at a time.
Internet on a National level is fast. Any connection to the outside seems to go through a bottleneck.
the initial handshake of the connection in the affected countries is going through all the way obviously so the problem is not google services.
the issue is in the interim path
I guess either this is an internet exchange collocation, ISP tier 1 fuckup or some of the non-existent agencies were instructed to sabotage connections. Or they did some interception fuckup.

The most bizarre one is the word "yesterday" which I memorized as "yes" + "ter" + "day" and don't ask me why "ter" because I don't remember.
The day of Wednes. Wednes, old spelling of wedness, the state of being wed.

Another example is the HN API, which runs on Firebase.
edit: Seems to be a network problem. We can't connect to them from Bulgaria, but we can connect to them from the US.
Hmmm maybe that is why www.youtube.com wasn't resolving, but youtube.com is.
Had to change my /etc/hosts to get mpv youtube working today.
