    2606:4700:4700::1111

    Hmm, maybe Google is easier:
    2001:4860:4860::8888

    Quad9 is 2620:fe::fe or 2620:fe::9

    I don’t understand why they can’t get better addresses than that. Like surely 1::1 would be valid?

    Edit: So IANA only control addresses 2001:: and up and there are quite a few IETF reservations within that. I don’t know why they picked such a high number to start at. Everything else seems IETF reserved with a little space allocated for special purposes (link-local, multicast, etc.).
