This is so dumb that I totally beleive it

It’s used heavily in Elden ring and was my exposure to the word

The number of reported infections has nearly tripled in the two weeks since the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the outbreak, which appears to be linked to Malichita or Rudy brand cantaloupes.

A hacker group with connections to China maintained unnoticed access to the computer network of the Eindhoven-based chip manufacturer NXP for over two years.

Ooooof

I’m surpsied (but obviously shouldn’t be) that that many potential users would instantly bounce off Firefox instead of changing the default search engine.
