on a side note, I find it hilarious how politicians try to appear relevant by forcing words like “exponential” or “quantum” when talking about tech
The one I always find funny is tech CEOs or ads out there that use the term “quantum leap” to describe an improvement. In reality, a quantum leap is just when an electron changes orbitals – one of the smallest movements a piece of matter can make. In my mind, a device being described as a “quantum leap” ahead of it’s predecessor sounds like it’s barely changed at all. Even better is the state is often temporary as electrons jump up an orbital when absorbing energy and then will jump back down when they release it. All in all, a terrible marketing term.
that one always cracks me up too, even dictionaries get it wrong:

I’ve always thought of it as referring to the scientific leap that discovering quantum mechanics was: A massive leap that completely changed the ruling paradigm of the scientific world.
Same, its a cringe term. Look how fancy they can word, they worded a fancy word.
They took a nice detour earlier this week when they all went crazy about the UFOs in Congress. Both Dems and republicans were roleplaying as clowns lol. Really shows you they have zero problems pretending like they understand these situations. Sometimes they really shouldn’t “fake it till you make it”.
