  imo the pejorative connotation of that word is (like many expressions of homophobia) ultimately rooted in misogyny

  i am reporting this post for promulgating misinformation. this meme has some truth in it, in that these six vegetables are all brassica oleracea. but, the factoid in the center of the meme is false: brassica oleracea can be many things but (despite brassicaceae being “the mustard and cabbage family”) brassica oleracea is NOT actually ever called “wild mustard plant”.

  The campaign hasn’t made any progress since 2011 when Wolfram Alpha added support for it, a year after Google did. Google’s calculator still does support it, though, so you can write queries like like “1Zbit/s * 1 year in hellabytes” (3.9 hellabytes), or “mass of the earth in hellagrams” (5.9 hellagrams).
