the problem with the tiffany problem is that nobody has ever shared a definitive source on it actually being a thing. you open the god damn wikipedia article and it cites a magazine editorial (no sources), a blog post (no sources), and a master thesis (based on the blog post) and absolutely nobody has bothered to check except fucking CGP Grey for a video which did not conclude with any evidence that the tiffany problem is real
im putting the originators of this in the same device as that fucker who posted an incorrect timeline of japanese tentacle erotica on here until somebody comes up with a real source

shame, shame! it's ok though actually at one point in a video he said that historical pronunciations were "unknowable" so I resent him forever and would kill him with my sword. and he disliked the california flag, the flag of my great nation so he's my enemy for life. but other than that his videos are pretty good.
Yeah, I've heard that thing about "historical pronunciations are unknowable" by various Hellenists who ought to have known better, (learn your history hellenists! this was known to Erasmus etc.) so I suspect he was led astray by someone who should have been more trustworthy.
@sysid-ace sent me CGP Grey's 21 minute deep-dive video on the history of the name "Tiffany" and I have to concede that Mr. Grey is good people for his willingness to research obscure historical minutiae
I'm still here, Mister Grey. I know your pain, I too have had to chase down medieval manuscripts in order to resolve a question that no one else cares about the answer to.
also: @triviallytrue appears to have absorbed your opinions on the california flag into their own lore about him.

just spent an hourish crocheting while watching cgp grey videos and having somethign to watch definitely speeds up the crocheting and I also enjoyed watching the videos but I hate the feeling after a video where it feels like ive lost time since I wasn’t aware of much else during the video watching process. and maybe this is the root of why im allergic to videos. but it’s not like I was wasting that time sicne I’m almsot done with the body of this amogus
that being said please watch the cgp grey Sharks! and tiffany videos.

wait so you know how you have two deaths, one when you die and one when you're forgotten, what happens if you're brought back up because someone went through a bunch of historical records and now you're well-known again?
also if like the bog/ice people you die but you become famous again but likely not by your name in your time does that count as being remembered
i mean i know technically you only ddie once but. if we're arguing that you die twice. what happens if you're forgotten but then unearthed again
or wait.
is there some sort of omnicient entity somehwere that Knows™ when youre gonna de the second time/the last time that someone says your name so that you dont actually die until the last last time someone says your name/thinks about you?
yes i had thi thought while watching the cgp grey video about tiffany im having a normal one todayy
