- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

Aluminum was the original name, YOU GUYS HAD TO GO AND CHANGE IT
Just like soccer.

i thought the original name was alumium?
Ya will Trump is going to rename it to Amerinum now.

No, it's Aluminum of America.
Stuff does occasionally change
In like... Science
Yes, but when naming new things you typically go with.... you know.... the person that discovered and named it
Well they should have called it Ørstedium then, and people could refuse to call it that because nobody knows what Ø sounds like or how to type it.
it's simple! it's like the i in stir, or the e in germ, or the u in turn, or the a in earth.
It actually would be a way cooler name for the element.
No, it's was Alumium originally. So you guys changed it too, but decided to chsbge it to something worse.
