This article was quite hard to understand, and the author called it "Lunar Terminator Paradox", which does not give too many Google hits.
"Lunar Terminator Illusion" is the thing to search for. This 11-year old Vsauce video did the trick for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2gTSjoEExc
Check around the 5m3s timestamp if in hurry, and not interested in other stuff he discusses.

disclaimer: I work at Oodle, posting my own perspective here.
Vijay and Kiran have both replied here in good faith. I like the fact that my bosses are nice, kind, and decent people.
I disagree with them about being nice to trolls.
All the past submissions from OP are for content hosted on a specific domain, which now redirects to another one: Surprise surprise! They sell "Telemetry Pipeline for AI-Era Data Volumes". So, a somewhat-competitor!?
OP, thanks for validation. When competitors write drive-by, unsubstantiated, undisclosed comments, that's good news!

1. Disable native context menu (macOS native menus will never support access keys)[1]
2. Go to `about:config` and set `ui.key.menuAccessKey` to a custom value (I have it at 17)[2]

We don't even need a fictional nail-factory example, because an almost-similar real example exists: the Backyard Furnaces of China during the Great Leap Forward [1]
> Pots, pans, and other metal artifacts were requisitioned to supply the "scrap" for the furnaces so that the wildly optimistic production targets could be met.

Also, even within Marathi, at least for the letters ज and च, how you pronounce them depends on the word. You have to know the correct pronunciation beforehand, as it can't really be guessed from the word.
जेजुरी is my favourite example. चिंच is a close second :)
