Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

A 2020 Donald Trump rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma attended by a much smaller crowd than expected by Trump.
Tik Tok trolls requesting tickets they'd never use turned a Donald Trump rally into the Emptysburg Address.

An abbreviation of "Internet Protocol Address". Internet Protocol Addresses are assigned to every device connected to the internet (e.g. Wifi connected printers, computers, smartphones, etc) to distinguish them from each other. They are a series of random numbers separated by periods. The I.P. Address of your device can be tracked by websites that you visit using it. You can actually determine someone's approximate location if you obtain their I.P. Address by contacting the ISP that it belongs to. You can find information about your I.P. Address, someone else's I.P. address, or you can find the I.P. address of a website on myip.ms.
64.210.140.1 is the I.P. address of Porn.com.
Searching "IP Address" on Google Search shows you what your I.P. address is.

An email address that you don't really care about, so you use it whenever some sketchy site or person asks you for one.
