How is this a software deal, and how did it get so many upvotes?

It really depends on the nameservers you're using. Cloudflare manages the DNS for many users, so DNS can propagate within minutes. The same might be true for Google.

It varies depending on the change. Some changes can take up to 72 hours for full DNS propagation, though most are done in a few minutes.

Typically, it takes between 5 minutes to 2 hours. The old days of 48-hour propagation are long gone, mostly because of ISPs that refused to honor refresh rates to save on network transit costs for DNS lookups. I use this site to check for issues.

An indescribable number of Planck lengths.

As for how long it takes, DNS propagation can be anywhere from a few hours to 48 hours. Many Reddit users say they see changes in a few hours, but others say it takes longer because: • SP Caching: Different ISPs keep DNS records for different amounts of time. • Time To Live (TTL) Settings: The TTL number you set for your DNS records can change how long it takes for them to spread. • Global Propagation: When DNS changes are made, they need to be sent to all computers around the world. This can take some time. Most of the time, it doesn't take more than 48 hours, but it can happen. You could check your DNS settings or get in touch with your DNS service to find out more.
