Couldn’t they just move .io to a different category? Or are TLDs never reused once they lose their original designation?
To be honest, Ariana Grande had it properly translated, but she missed that it was also a kind of grill in Japan. She probably should have stayed away from Japanese in this case, because there’s just no great way to phrase “7 rings” without invoking the grill. I wouldn’t do it for the aesthetics of the kanji either, 七 is the ugliest one imo.
Edit: Actually, I think she could have fixed it quite cleanly. I’m no expert on Japanese, but counting is done a little differently than in English. 七輪 is very literally “seven rings”, but it actually has a very general sense “seven ring-shaped objects” and you’d normally qualify what object you’re talking about exactly. So if the meaning is supposed to be “seven rings (jewelry)”, you could write 七輪の指輪 “seven rings (general) of rings (jewelry)”. That’s an addition to the original tattoo that would eliminate the “grill” sense because now the grammatical function of the word is different.
With that description I’d expected it to be the complete opposite of what it actually is. I have a colleague who’s always like “according to ChatGPT…” and I have to figure out if it lucked out this time or he just believed some bullshit again. It’s really a coin toss, but when I correct him, he’ll go right back to the coin toss machine with the new information and go “see, it corrected itself!” No, you stupid motherfucker, I corrected you and you influenced the statistical language model to spit out different words this time, but it’ll go right back to being wrong, just like you.
Had to look this up, because I’d seen it before but didn’t want to accuse Americans of being crazy without proof:

1 a: ground beef
1 b: a patty of ground beef
The meme says singular “hamburger”, so it makes sense that they meant it in the ground beef sense. Every other dictionary starts with “a patty of ground beef” by the way, so it seems to be an American peculiarity.
Yeah, the common EPS initiative (mandating USB 2.0 micro-B) was in effect since 2009. That’s right around the time smartphones were getting popular. Even my last slide phone had micro-USB. Maybe there were different models for different markets though, a product doesn’t need to follow EU law if it’s only sold in the US.
My Gimp workflow heavily involves Inkscape for that reason. If you need shapes, curves, text, moving stuff around, even scaling and rotating, Inkscape is much better. It’s only when I actually have to edit something in an existing image that I open Gimp. And sometimes when I need a complicated guideline, I’ll create it in Inkscape, export to png, import in Gimp, just so I don’t have to use the shape tool.
