Information Is BeautifulTruthpaste! Love this labelling - let's roll it out across all products
Faraiwe@infobeautiful "aqua" = water. Why the apple-marketing name??
Michael 🇺🇦@infobeautiful @faraiwe It's the Latin name. Everything in the left column is in Latin.
@heluecht @infobeautiful ah, yes, plainspoke af.
Marianne@heluecht @infobeautiful @faraiwe no, it isn't. Hydrated is English, Calcium is, Limonene isn't Latin... Barely any of it is, just aqua and the plants
@noodlemaz sshh... They think they can identify Latin.
Leave it be, it's funnier this way.
Hic sunt strumptus. Deridete.
Caeri@faraiwe @infobeautiful Because it‘s customary to write these lists in Latin for unambiguity.
@Caeri in the 400s CE, sure.
There ARE official, plain names for substances in English. Like, oh, "water".
@faraiwe Yes, but since Latin is no longer in use and undergoes no changes in spoken/written word, it is very practical to name substances that you would rather like to be precise about, and not wonder whether e.g. „soda“ on this bottle means the English or the German colloquial term (NaOH vs Na2CO3), depending on who labeled this bottle/which country it was printed in etc.
@Caeri no shit, but the idea is have it PLAIN, to the target audience.
Do you know many people fluent in Latin? Are *you*?
There.
Look, I am mo longer indulging techbros and their like, sooo...... Yet on yer own, Bub.
Buh bye

Michael Porter@faraiwe @infobeautiful I always love seeing “purified" or “distilled" water amongst a list of all the impurities they've added 😄
