nethernet 

This is a variation on the word "netherverse" (plural netherverses) (fantasy) A lower universe, realm, region; or underworld. In this case, it refers to the marginalization of trolls into silos away from public discourse by blocking them from your social media feed.

This is a Billy Flowers level of hopeless stupidity best marginalized into the bowels of the “nethernet”.

Netherite 

Fictional alloy, which is stronger than diamonds, in the videogame, Minecraft. You find debris in the dimension "Nether" and can convert that to netherite scrap which you combine with gold to make this godlike material. With this, you can make any tool/armor, that you normally can with diamonds and iron. You can also make blocks of netherite. Netherite was added into the game in 2020's "The Nether Update" and made diamond a weird middleman for many in the progression tree of Minecraft.

Note that there is an in-game achievement for crafting a netherite hoe in the game, "Serious Dedication", widely considered the most useless item in the game.

"1v1 me bro, I got diamonds"
"You fool! I have already reached the much superior netherite stage"
"Oh no! Show mercy!"

Ethernet 

1) A trademark for a LAN protocol.

2) A local area network first described by Metcalfe & Boggs of Xerox PARC in 1976. Specified by DEC, Intel and XEROX (DIX) as IEEE 802.3 and now recognised as the industry standard.

Data is broken into packets and each one is transmitted using the CSMA/CD algorithm until it arrives at the destination without colliding with any other packet. The first contention slot after a transmission is reserved for an acknowledge packet. A node is either transmitting or receiving at any instant. The bandwidth is about 10 Mbit/s. Disk-Ethernet-Disk transfer rate with TCP/IP is typically 30 kilobyte per second.

Version 2 specifies that collision detect of the transceiver must be activated during the inter-packet gap and that when transmission finishes, the differential transmit lines are driven to 0V (half step). It also specifies some network management functions such as reporting collisions, retries and deferrals.

Ethernet cables are classified as "XbaseY", e.g. 10base5, where X is the data rate in Mbps, "base" means "baseband" (as opposed to radio frequency) and Y is the category of cabling. The original cable was 10base5 ("full spec"), others are 10base2 ("thinnet") and 10baseT ("twisted pair") which is now (1998) very common. 100baseT ("Fast Ethernet") is also increasingly common.

Person 1: "What the heck, my Internet won't work!"
Person 2: "Dude, that's because your ethernet cable is unplugged!"
