    I hate well known methods being referred to as “hacks”.

    I do pottery and clay reclaiming is something literally every potter learns how to do and knows what it is and has probably done it since the dawn of human civilization. Then I see some YouTube short claiming they discovered an “infinite clay hack”. 🤦‍♂️

      I got this issue with the word “reference”. I Remember when the mario movie came out, and every video, every person, every whatever, did not stop finding “references”. If a mushroom were in Mario’s room it was a reference… Did people recall that is a mario movie…? And do they remember the fact that mushrooms belong to Mario’s universe? Those are not a reference, god
