EDIT: Had not seen your edit before i posted this. Though both sources agree on the protected word, mine does not mention Suriname in any way. It sounds like a good theory, but could also be coincidental that the same word was chosen, couldn't it?

Apparently, I stand (a bit) corrected. According to this dutch source, the dutch word for butter (boter) could only be used for products containing real (dairy) butter.

Here's a machine-translated and quickly edited (to make sense) version:

In 1948, the first jar of peanut butter was marketed in the Netherlands, but it was not allowed to be called peanut butter. Butter was a name that was specifically registered for real butter. So only butter was allowed to be called butter. Other types of butter were called margarine. And so, another name had to be thought of.

[...] Pinderkaas was compared to leverkaas ("liver cheese"). That is also a sandwich spread that does not contain any cheese at all, but does have cheese (kaas) in its name.

Pindakaas literally translates to peanut cheese. IIRC someone trademark protected the word meaning peanut butter, thereby forcing everyone else to call it kaas (cheese) instead?!

Manjarno, manjarno

— as they say in Spain ...

"rendering" the music and some of the graphics.

I think that's what's called procedural audio/graphics. For audio, it's like building synthesizers into the game, to then be able to play the music/fx as a program (sort of like sheet music) instead of an audio file.

Something like this, but for weed?

Yeah, it's somehow comparable to a scenario where they had the power to decide you can't use uber/taxi, or postal services, because you used it to transport the HDD you're using for your private collection of copyright-protected media.

There's are some OpenStreetMap-based apps that are worth checking out. Some of them are made for specific purposes, while other are for general navigation. I've tried some of them through the time with various success, though I've still haven't found a favorite to stick with for good. But I believe making the switch is definitely possible and probably worth it!

You can install all the mentioned apps through F-Droid:

• GraphHopper Maps
• OsmAnd+
• Organic Maps (hike/bike)
• Alpi Maps (hike/bike)
• SeaMapDroid (nautical)

Additionally, use Transportr for public transport navigation almost anywhere in the world, and GMaps WV, a restricted WebView wrapper for accessing the web version of Google Maps. Intended for use when OpenStreetMap isn't enough.

For example, users might spend a long time at a screen because they are thinking about

... anything!

I've recently heard of some people living near the coast, carrying on an old local tradition of simply growing potatoes in seaweed instead of soil, adding a natural salty taste to them.
