going insane over this fun fact from @weirdmedieval.bsky.social

@WeirdMedieval on X quoting a guy talking about Macadamia nuts

macadamia nuts were named after a guy named john macadam. sounds like a pisstake but 100% true. tarmac, short for "tarmacadamisation," was named after a different man named john macadam.
