I was in a Discord call with a friend when my internet suddenly went out for about 20-30 minutes due to a storm. My WiFi signal showed a warning icon indicating it couldn't find a connection, and I couldn't access any websites during that time. However, the Discord call continued to function without any issues. How is that possible?

It's definitely strange! Could be that Discord used an established connection on your laptop while new connections were dropped. Your device was still talking to Discord servers even though you couldn't access new sites.
Sounds wild! It’s likely that your connection to Discord stayed open thanks to how the internet works. Established connections can often remain active even when new connections fail.
Did your friend live nearby with the same internet provider? Sometimes if they're on the same network, there might be a local outage affecting both of you.
Maybe you switched to cell data by mistake? Just throwing ideas out there.
