Pimoroni based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom, is an authorised Raspberry Pi reseller and creators, manufacturers, and retailers of their own electronics products, and also resellers for Adafruit, micro:bit, Sparkfun and many other producers of computer hardware, accessories, and components. Pimoroni are the creators and distributors of the NVMe Base and NVMe Base Duo for Raspberry Pi 5, the Picade - a popular, DIY retro-gaming arcade cabinet kit powered by Raspberry Pi, and the nostalgic Pibow Cases - the colorful, laser-cut, acrylic cases that first put Pimoroni on the map in 2012, which are still popular for various Raspberry Pi models today! Pimoroni give back to the maker community through event and project sponsorships and their ongoing commitment to open source software.
Pimoroni stands for "Pirate, Monkey, Robot, Ninja" (Pi-Mo-Ro-Ni / 🏴☠️🐒🤖😺🥷). It’s pronounced Pih-mo-row-knee (that's "Pih" as in Pickle, Pirouette, or Pikachu and not "Pi" as in Raspberry Pi, [apple] Pie, or the mathematical constant representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter) for obscure reasons that have been lost to history.
Yep, you may have guessed that the mispronunciation of "Pimoroni" is a pet hate of the SARPi Project. 😝 🙄 🤣
So take note the multitudes of video bloggers and content creators (mentioning no names) who continue to mispronounce "Pimoroni" to this day, by way of some twisted (MWI) Mandela Effect phenomenon!
