minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoFunny how the term “tinfoil” persists even though it hasn’t been used in over 70 years.

minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year ago“Aluminum” at least has 1 less syllable. But I usually just say “foil.” What else would I be talking about in that context?

minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoACKSHULLY, I was referring to “aluminum” as opposed to “aluminium.”

minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year ago Easier to say than “aluminium” Is the comment I was replying to.
minus-squareCosmic Cleric@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·edit-21 year agoFair enough. I didn’t read the comment previous to yours, just your comment directly, so I thought you were referring to ‘aluminum’ versus ‘tinfoil’.

minus-squareCosmic Cleric@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·edit-21 year agoDidn’t even realize that was a word until I looked it up. the chemical element of atomic number 13, a light silvery-gray metal. Not sure how that relates in a conversation about tinfoil hats usage but sure why not. I’m sure the composition of the devices has a significant performance impact on their effectiveness, worthy of discussion. :p
