Context matters. Always. One person can use a word and it will be not racist, another can use the same term and it will be racist. You should ask the person what they define as “civilized”. Their reasoning is your answer.

woop_woop@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Most chewing gum is made of Plastic.English243·7 months agoYour first link is about micro plastics, and they even say not all brands have them. So if a product is made of plastic and doesn’t always contain micro plastics (which are found in the air and water and soil and foods), then…polymers might not actually be plastics sometimes. Or in gum, many times.

Well, not quite. You’d have to have rights to the land to do that. Else someone could ride up and just take it from you.
So then it’s not worse?

woop_woop@lemmy.worldto Science Memes@mander.xyz•[Cool birb, but see comments. Not accurate.] Dinosaurs Still LiveEnglish159·8 months agoThis isn’t true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoatzin
… Since Archaeopteryx had three functional claws on each wing, some earlier systematists speculated that the hoatzin was descended from it, because nestling hoatzins have two functional claws on each wing. Modern researchers, however, hypothesize that the young hoatzin’s claws are of more recent origin… A similar trait is seen in turacos, whose nestlings use claws on their wings to climb in trees.

If you say 2001 as twenty one, it’s confusing. Same goes all the way up to “twenty nine”.
And it’s more garbled and slower to say “twenty oh one” vs “two thousand one”, especially if you’re speaking quickly.
“Twenty ten” and up, however, starts making sense as a different piece of information and can be used easily.
