I’m still amazed the Internet itself works.

Same here. FWIW, it's built on older, slower, less-reliable tech, which forced ridiculous amounts of resiliency into every layer of the design. It's still amazing, but perhaps slightly less so if we look back 40 years. I'm convinced that some parts are running just fine over infrastructure no better than wet string.
