    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.

          Funny how the term “tinfoil” persists even though it hasn’t been used in over 70 years.

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

                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
