I did think of the milk example, but I’d argue that’s not quite an apt comparison as milk is sort of a generic term for similar things from different sources and often just any white liquid. If we had a different, special word for just cow’s milk for example, it’d be weird to call anything else by that name.
I’d argue the equivalent term to “milk” in this case would be syrup. There are many types of syrup, but we specifically use “honey” to mean “syrup made by bees”.

Is it really honey if not made by bees?

“Medical science” didn’t only just discover the clitoris 20 years ago… Fairly accurate descriptions of the structure of the clitoris go back to the 1840s. It’s the textbooks used for medical training that were omitting the already known structures to the detriment of medical professionals and healthcare.
Never mind that discovering and accurately mapping something are very different. That’s like saying we hadn’t discovered the moon until we saw the other side.
It’s a funny meme that scientists couldn’t find the clit, but it detracts from the actual sexism that was preventing the known science from being taught properly to doctors.

Yeah, that list sounds like literal prison. That’s a hard sell for a good chunk of people.

I’m guessing by “history” they mean since we started measuring this accurately? Iirc the earth used to spin faster so going back a few centuries or millennia should give days measurably shorter than what we have now.

There’s a certain threshold when you’re no longer upset, just impressed. Like if someone ate my slice of cake vs they ate the entire fridge.
