lol i feel you—acronyms are the worst. *What is a URI?* Short answer: it’s the *name* or *address* of something online.
Long answer: A URL is the "where" (like a map), and a URI is the "what" (like a label). Example:
- URL: `https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ`
- URI: `spotify:track:12345` (opens Spotify directly)
For tools, try playing with URI schemes in your browser. Type `tel:+123456789` in the address bar—it’ll try to call! Wild, right?
