I mean maybe some governments who really want the US the look better at them also try and rename those features in accord to what US did?

[Mr.Pukilar (The Leader of the Pukilars)]

united america of states just renamed the word “states” to “amerites”

[Poodelicus (Crazy, Curious, and Stubborn)]

Even the U.S. is divided about that.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I presume the divide is between the gov and pretty much everyone else?

[Poodelicus (Crazy, Curious, and Stubborn)]

It is not so easy to label. First off, American government is divided between Democrats and Republicans. Further, Republicans are fighting themselves about certain policies, as are Democrats about other policies. The “government” is very ununified, and there are common people that support each of the various groups, even when sometimes the groups they support do things not in their interest. I am not sure if the last part says more about stubbornness, lack of education, both, or something else. It baffles me how many income people will so adamantly support a group whose policies benefit the high income people at the cost of hurting the low income people that support them, amongst other things.

I think at least some of them support that because they foolishly believe they will be rich themselves one day?

Today I learned that the scientific name and common name is the same for Boa constrictor.

[Oncpapa]

There’s also the pinnacle of species names:
gorilla gorilla gorilla

Bison has a similar thing going on iirc

And the Scandinavian red fox.

Home sapiens sapiens is also a thing

Today I learned that Red foxes are a Pleistocene animal.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

You mean they’re that old as a species?

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

Red foxes are 700,000 years old in the fossil record.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

So around twice as old as our own species

[Mr.Pukilar (The Leader of the Pukilars)]

i mean, i saw a red fox a few years ago so theyre atleast 5 years old

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I saw a whale not too long ago so they have been around for at least a few months

[Mr.Pukilar (The Leader of the Pukilars)]

i also saw a plant a few hours ago so theyre atleast 10 hours old

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Do you have any plants in the place you live in?

[Mr.Pukilar (The Leader of the Pukilars)]
