@vaporeon_ oh its not speculation https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/09/21/trump-autism-announcement-tylenol-leucovorin/

@vaporeon_ its a painkiller similar to aspirin. Tylenol is a particularly famous brand--the actual painkiller is the wordy "acetominephen", but people just say Tylenol even when you don't buy Tylenol-brand painkillers, like how some people say Kleenex to refer to ordinary tissues

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ I'm the kind of pervert who says acetaminophen constantly out loud irl

@The_T @vaporeon_ (i do this too)

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ in europe it's called paracetamol

@maple @vaporeon_ oh huh interesting

@maple @wallhackio Oh! I know it by that name
Didn't know the actual chemical that it contains is called acetaminophen

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio oh i mean the chemical has a different name in europe as in paracetomol instead of acetominophen. don't know any european brand names

@maple @wallhackio Wait, how can a chemical have two different names?

It's definitely being sold as paracetamol, though

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio well it was first developed in the 1800s when communication across the ocean was a lot slower so i imagine one name gained popularity here and another there

@maple @wallhackio It's so old? I didn't know that!

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ I think it's called paracetamol in europe?

@onfy @vaporeon_ well how about that

@onfy @vaporeon_ paracetamol is the name according to World Health Organization and acetaminophen is used by "United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Colombia and Venezuela"

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ I know about the name at all because there's a scene with heavy plot revelations in Beneath a Steel Sky (great game)... after this a character suddenly offers the protagonist some paracetamol, leading to the incredible line of "I don't want analgesic, I want answers!"

@wallhackio And he's claiming that something can treat it? Unsettling. I guess I can understand some of y'alls' desire to not be on a list or whatever to avoid being subjected to malpractice

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio I can't wait to get out of this country

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio brand name fur acetaminophen
