No. Actually... this is absolutely possible if the mail server software follows the smtp protocol specification.
Showing my age here... but for many years I used telnet to connect to my e-mail provider to send/receive mail. You can still do it... try it.
In the old days you could telnet into a smtp mail server at port 25 and do:
RCPT TO:<some.address@somewhere.net>
To which the mail server would immediately respond:
550 No such user
This is still the latest standard smtp protocol as described in RFC 5321 section 3.3[^]

That was linked too. It's useless, but I guess it depends on your definition of "verify". An account existing doesn't mean it's the right address, it could still be mistyped, misremembered, or especially intentionally wrong because it does literally nothing to stop that. It doesn't even mean it actually exists, it could be one of those 1-minute temporary inboxes. It would catch some typos I suppose.
I would definitely not consider the address "verified" after this. "Verified for spam purposes" perhaps.

(Because, as everyone knows, there is a top and a bottom.)
And if anyone has ever been so crazy as to try such a thing, please report: did it still taste as good?

I concur!
Kudos for pointing that out so well!

Why, thank you.
This[^] may be considerably hard for a number of people to envision (there's no up or down, duh. It's a spheroid for God's sake).
But if understood, it could possibly open up ones mind to observe the Earth's trajectory and spin from different perspectives.

I often do this as some hamburgers are a little drippy and the top bun is better at absorbing the drips before they drip on you! Also, sometimes by the time you unwrap a take-out burger the bottom bun has become soaked and soggy so flipping it upside down provides a more robust "plate".

24 points for getting the word "robust" into a workable sentence, that has nothing to do with software development.

Wow! Thanks. I now have a total of 24 points. I wonder what to do with them...

Robust is the word I usually use in connection with people who appear to be of a simple personality disposition. Some even feel honored.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

I'm more curious how you'd get "robust" into a sentence about software development while keeping a straight face.

A robust and scalable architecture.
The word is overused everywhere in software development.

Depends on what is on that hamburger, but the side that is on your tongue is the first stuff you taste.

Depends on the tomato: if you are talking about McVomits, Bleurger King, etc., then yes - but use an older variety - i.e. one that tastes of tomato - then they can enhance a burger. Try Tomkin some day, if you can find them. They are great with ham and BACON as well.
Lettuce also - if you use one that tastes of something it can help add texture and "mouth feel" as well.
Pickles? Nah, I'm with you on that...

Pretty much always; seems the motion to bring the burger from the plate to the mouth is simpler.
I'd rather be phishing!

I quite often eat them upside down. When eating them right side up, I sometimes end up where my bites are primarily bottom bun, burger, toppings, and bottom of top bun, but the top part of the top bun remains hanging over. Flipping it over somehow gives me a better vertical bite.

I don't think I could eat anything upside down. All the blood rushes into your head and swallowing goes against gravity. Doesn't sound fun at all.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

did that twice on a hamburger, the first one without bite and the second one is not special ...

Sort of. My wife is going gluten-free so recently I have been reducing my hamburger bun intake by not eating the bottom half*. I turn the thing upside-down, remove the bottom half, and eat the rest open-faced.
* The top half tastes better.
