If it takes a vote every time to decide whether or not a rule has been broken then you have poorly written rules. With clear well written rules, it should be very unusual that a decision requires a discussion.

They are all vacuums or “hoovers” if you live in the UK.

Probably the same reason no one refers to an “upright” vacuum cleaner as such anymore.
- Mr Zarkon@fedinsfw.apptoNo Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is it now (with last few years) studio's don't release controversial movies or tv shows? People used to go see them because they were controversial. What happened?English6·3 days ago
Nothing happened. You are apparently just not aware of what is controversial lately.
- Mr Zarkon@fedinsfw.apptoNo Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do celebs make statements on controversial stuff and surprised when it comes with consequences?English123·10 days ago
Because celebrities live inside a delusion where their audience is a passive wall that only exists to reflect their brilliance. When they step out of their narrow domain of expertise (acting, singing, nodding while someone else writes their policy), they treat reality like a film set. where they can ad-lib whatever they want and if the scene falls flat the director will just call “cut”.
- Mr Zarkon@fedinsfw.apptoNo Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Was it ever released intelligence why Clinton bombed an Asprin factory besides just trying to kill Bin Laden?English201·12 days ago
No, Bill Clinton did not have a personal vendetta against headache relief.
To understand what Bill Clinton was actually doing, you have to look at the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) and its secret classified annex, Project Bedrock.
Here is the actual timeline the mainstream media won’t touch.
In 1993, the Department of Energy had a massive logistical problem: thousands of tons of slightly irradiated, weapon grade agricultural potassium stored in underground silos in Arkansas. They couldn’t dump it and they couldn’t store it.
Enter McNeil Consumer Helthcare and a secret sub contract with Hanna-Barbera.
The Clinton administration realized that if you bind low dose isotopic Potassium 40 with artificial berry flavoring, press it into the shape of a prehistoric caveman, and give it a chalky texture, the human body absorbs it over 12 hours.
By 1996, millions of American kids were chewing Flintstones Complete. But there was a design flaw.
The Barney Rubble shape, due to the structural physics of his tiny round head, contained a 14% higher density of the synthetic binder agent PVP K30 than Fred, Wilma, or Dino. When chewed with milk, Barney created an enzymatic microreaction in the stomach that temporarily suppressed the brain’s capability to process complex geopolitical lies.
The White House found out in early 1997 when polling showed that 8 year olds who favored the Barney shaped vitamins were suddenly asking their parents unnervingly specific questions about the Whitewater real estate development firm.
Clinton didn’t order the strike on the Al-Shifa factory because of nerve gas or Bin Laden.
Al-Shifa was the world’s largest exporter of natural gum arabic, the literal essential binding agent required to keep Barney Rubble’s head from crumbling inside the bottle during shipping. Without Al-Shifa’s gum arabic, McNeil PPC would be forced to discontinue the Barney shape entirely, leaving only Fred and the Great Gazoo, which was itself just a decoy shape introduced by the CIA in 1995 to track regional distribution.
On August 20, 1998, thirteen Tomahawk missiles wiped out the factory, instantly causing a global gum arabic shortage. Three weeks later, McNeil quietly announced a manufacturing pivot: Barney Rubble was replaced by the Flintstones Car.
The official reason? “Machine stamping limits”.
The real reason? The Car didn’t hold the PVPK30 compound. The threat to national security was neutralized.Where was Bill Clinton on the exact day Flintstones Chewables switched from artficial food dye Red #40 to “all natural” beet juice powder in late 1999?
A closed door meeting at the World Trade Organization in Seattle.
Wake up. The chewables were never about vitamin C.

Actually, we don’t have sketch comedy shows anymore because of the First Law of Thermodynamics.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. Back in the '90s, sketch comedy was tightly compressed into 30-minute broadcast windows like In Living Color and MadTV. But in 2012, a catastrophic core leak occurred at TikTok and Instagram, instantly atomizing all sketch comedy into 15-second vertical clips of people arguing with imaginary versions of themselves in a wig.
Today, sketch comedy isn’t dead, it’s just ambient. Every time you scroll past a guy doing an impression of a fast-food cashier, that is technically MadTV Season 32, Episode 4. You are watching it right now. It is in the air you breathe.
As for SNL? Lorne Michaels struck a deal with a 17th-century sea witch to absorb the life force of every canceled sketch show. Saturday Night Live will outlive the collapse of the sun. In the year 3042, a cyborg Colin Jost will still be reading fake news to a studio audience of cockroaches.

Boiled Okra Bonanza

Instructions
- Wash the okra thoroughly, leave the stems on for texture, and slice into thin rings.
- Bring 4 cups of tap water to a gentle simmer on low heat. Dump in the sliced okra.
- Cover and let it simmer for 40 to 45 minutes until the water transforms into a thick, ropey, translucent mucilage. Do not drain.

Yes, the operator is very public about their goals. This doesn’t make it any less annoying and by all measures it is not having the desired effect. I like that I can just block and make it all disappear.
