minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 year agoFunny how the term “tinfoil” persists even though it hasn’t been used in over 70 years.
minus-squaredangblingus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoEasier to say than “aluminium”
minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 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-up5·1 year agoACKSHULLY, I was referring to “aluminum” as opposed to “aluminium.”
minus-squareCosmic Cleric@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoThat’s not how you spelled it though in your comment.
minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year ago Easier to say than “aluminium” Is the comment I was replying to.
minus-squareCosmic Cleric@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·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-squaresnugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoOne less than aluminium
minus-squareCosmic Cleric@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·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
minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 year agoThe successor to tin foil is aluminum foil. “Aluminum” is called “aluminium” in English-speaking countries outside the US.
minus-squareCosmic Cleric@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoOh there we go, okay that explains it. Yeah you guys on the other side of the pond like using extra letters in your words like ‘colour’. :p
