Yes, it would be very weird for server addresses to have the service name as a subdomain. Like a common prefix of web servers to signify that it’s serving world wide web.

On a more serious note, this used to be fairly common for many protocols to ensure loaf balancing between different protocols - you’d have one server for www, one for ftp, and so on.

Also, from an administrative point of view, it’s more manageable when you can, for example, add an entire (sub)domain to the firewall rules.

Psssst, hey, wanna try some drugs linux?

You should try it. It’s awesome, it’ll change your outlook on things. This is totally peer pressure, but hey, it could be drugs or smoking.

I’ve been a BSD and linux user for 25 years now, and I can quit whenever I want to. I just don’t want to.

Admittedly, my health has suffered from distro abuse; it landed me a well paying job, and I can now afford to eat bacon whenever I want to.

Kind of related, I found mine myself once while about to fill out the form for lost luggage.

“Hi, I need to report lost lugg… oh, there it is”, I said, as I noticed my very recognizable pelicase behind the luggage agent.

To their defense, the luggage tag had fallen off somewhere in transit, and they were about to enter it into the system. Luckily IAH was the destination airport.

Another astroturf event incoming. Will we see perfectly choreographed videos of 50 people with identical half-full gas cans “spontaneously” showing up in support this time too?
