    I was so confused at the title too. What does being “pureed” in blender animation software even mean?

    Why do people suddenly call a mixer a blender? Isn’t “blend” related to light? English makes no sense.

      English makes no sense.

      Too true!

      Isn’t “blend” related to light?

      You can use blend for anything, especially if you’re creating a mix of two original things. And you could mix light too (you have things like mix() for colors in CSS).

      In cooking, I would call something you use to mix dough a mixer, and something you use to make a smoothie a blender. I guess there are some subtle differences in “feel” but the words are almost interchangeable.
