I really REALLY want this to happen. It would be such a perfect example of how incredibly ignorant they are and the complete lack of understanding they have for the world around them.
Like the time a city banned “di-hydrogen monoxide” for like a day until they realized it was just a fancy name for H2O lol

That’s not quite the story…
Viejo, California put a proposal on its agenda to ban plastic foam containers over the chemicals used in making them. In the proposal they listed “dihydrogen monoxide”, among other things, presumably because they likely added it to the list after failing to identify a satire website, and it went viral, mostly in right-wing circles that hate anything that protects the environment.
It never got past the proposal stage, and the “dihydrogen monoxide” part wasn’t even the reason why. They never actually banned water and had to walk that back, a Republican lied to you to make you think that.
I think my high school chemistry teacher told us that as a reason why it’s important to know the periodic table or something, idk what their political motivations were.
But I guess even before AI stories were getting twisted and changed to fit narratives or serve personal purposes. Thanks for the info tho, always good to know more info.
Watch them try to ban Arabic numerals and force everyone to use Roman numbers again.
But I really like zero.

It’s not even a fancy name, it’s very literally the scientific name of it…the shit you learn in high school science classes
Nice of you to assume that magats went to school.
Ave, true to Caesar!
