Something that I’m surprised a lot of devs don’t know; there are official domains you’re supposed to use for documentation, testing, etc. They are specifically reserved by IANA for these purposes. Originally I think it was just example.com, but they now have a list of all them: https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved
This guy is really committed to the joke, seeing as how he could easily sell bar.com for millions of dollars. Note also that there is a .bar gTLD, and there is a foo.bar domain as of 2014 (though it doesn't seem to be hosting any content). I run the .foo gTLD, and bar.foo is a real domain (though admittedly not as good as foo.bar). There is no .baz; next round maybe?
How does one get to run a TLD?

But I don’t see example.com listed there...
this makes me wonder about what volume of mail an MX for contoso.com would receive, if microsoft didn't own the domain. https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&hs=ujt&channel=f...
contoso.com does have MX records. $ dig +short -t mx contoso.com 10 contoso-com.mail.protection.outlook.com.

bar.foo redirects to careers.google.com. Nice joke. ;)

A lot of people learned this the hard way when Google bought and later enabled permanent HSTS for the .dev domain (prior to actually publicly releasing it) in Chrome, breaking everybody's non https local .dev environments. As mentioned above, it should have been .test

Note that `foo@bar.com` is frequently used to get around the email address requirement, so it is not really for testing. I wouldn't be surprised if prominent websites block any address from example.com or so.
