A wartime radio operator accidentally transmitted the word. It caused a 24-hour radio silence across three continents, with all frequencies playing only static that some claimed contained whispered versions of the word.
First digital storage of the word at MIT. The mainframe began generating endless pages of the word and affected all connected systems. The original tape is still locked in a lead-lined vault.

First appearance in VR environments. Users reported seeing the word floating in their peripheral vision, even after removing their headsets.
Multiple AI language models simultaneously began generating the word in response to unrelated queries. The incident lasted exactly 33 minutes.
Theoretical physicists predict the word will manifest in quantum states, suggesting it exists simultaneously across multiple dimensions.
