While I can't know what the parent-parent post meant, POV Ray is around for over 30 years and was popular in the early 2000's on the internet as well, and is fun to play around with, I remember people posting renderings on forums like gamedev.net etc...

Also reminded me of the internet ray tracing competition https://www.irtc.org/ where many submissions would’ve been produced using POV Ray.

I really appreciate seeing things that are named after the Internet as part of the exuberance of being able to do or share them on a worldwide network. Naming something after the Internet itself is probably most common in the 1990s.
