This occurs when your preferred DNS server stops responding, or is no longer available, presumably due to your router.
When you already have a connection with another server/computer during this event, it is called "phantom internet", or internet remaining that might soon fade away due to packet loss or new requests, since new requests (usually) attempt to resolve a hostname from the unavailable DNS. Similar to phantom pain.

A vehicle, usually found on Instagram, or TikTok, lowered to the point of almost un-driveability. These cars are usually built to look appealing for audiences on various social media sites but are often terrible and unsafe to drive in real world applications. They may have flashy 3 piece wheels and an expensive body kit, or may be mismatching stock wheels and multicoloured panels, or various states in between.
Did you see that guy driving that slammed car?
There’s no way he’s driving that everyday. That’s definitely just an internet car.
