RIGHT?! I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's based on the term NUCLEUS ffs.

Common misconception but it's actually based on Saint Nukulus, the guy that puts uranium in your boots if you leave them out overnight.

Did you know he was a real-life engineer in ancient Turducky?

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 24 points 3 months ago

Now, to be fair, nucleus it comes from the latin nuculus. It just that it sounds bad and feels bad to say
