Time to stop using Gmail and YouTube. I had already avoided go░gle search for months now.

Over the last three or four months I had deleted all my FaceBook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram accounts. And this made me want to avoid go░gle search.

Just curious what's wrong with saying Google?

You must be new to Lemmy. Grab a tinfoil hat from the box by the door.

Funny how the term "tinfoil" persists even though it hasn't been used in over 70 years.

Easier to say than "aluminium"

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Aluminum" at least has 1 less syllable. But I usually just say "foil." What else would I be talking about in that context?

a·lu·mi·num

tin·foil

(Sorry for the 'ackshully', but couldn't resist.)

Didn'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

ACKSHULLY, I was referring to "aluminum" as opposed to "aluminium."

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not how you spelled it though in your comment.

Is the comment I was replying to.

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Fair enough. I didn't read the comment previous to yours, just your comment directly, so I thought you were referring to 'aluminum' versus 'tinfoil'.
