It reminds me of what3words, using three words to describe any location on earth. I really hoped that could catch on.
[…] thaw the new case beyond pure mass where flagrant toys fucken.
The new times take now beneath the new time while new times take the new year. Or more concisely, localhost.
That is a lot of words for ::1.
Edit: there was another one below, haha :)

it already happened. also I sure as hell dont remember my ipv4 address
I don't remember my ipv4 addresses either, but I recognize them as mine when I see them. I've never recognized an IPv6 address or prefix used in my networks.
If you want to be really wonky you can script DHCPv6 to statically assign ULA IPv6 leases that match the IPv4, and expire them when the IPv4 lease expires, but like said upthread, addressing hosts via IPv6 is the wrong way to go about it. On your lan, you really want to be doing ".local" / ".lan" / ".home".

what3words Is terrible and search and rescue teams are actively against people using it.

Adoption has been flat under 50% for a year now.
Wow. That's so amazingly unpopular. Why anyone bothers talking about something untold millions of people use every day is beyond me.

Care to elaborate why? I'm just curious since I didn't know (1) there was actually any kind of serious usage, or (2) there was pushback from rescue team...
They advertise it as being useful for search/rescue as you can provide a precise location over an unclear voice channel. They conveniently ignore that speaking numbers is clearer than speaking random words.
I'm sure there's more I'm unaware of.
If you're remembering your IPv6 address you're doing IPv6 wrong. In fact, it's good practice to always use a temporary IPv6 address. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8981#name-problem-s...
Yet another reason why ipv6 will never happen
