Some “old home remedies” would be: tomato sauce, for skunk; peanut butter, for gum; and prairie oyster cocktail, for hangover. Most of these either don’t work or make the mess worse so a game show where people try this on a wild animal would be disastrous and possibly humorous if you ignore the animal abuse.

Was surprised by how old that footage was, and saddened to learn that Fatso passed away long before his fame as a meme.
- Comment on When Video Games were Brown. | Ahoy 2 weeks ago:
To your second point you might find some explanations in film studies. The rise of viscerally violent zombie/horror movies of the 2000s has been widely discussed. Its typically attributed to: political instability (911/war on terror); fear of diseases (2002 SARS/1999 west nile virus); natural disasters (Huricane Katrina 2005/climate change); and economic crisis (dotcom bubble 2000/2007 economic recession). Essentially widespread fears and anxieties shape our media and I think (some) video games being darker, grittier, and more violent in that time period reflect this.

To each their own I suppose. Personally I’ve only met women that liked points 2 through 4. Is worrying about her getting enough sleep or eating well considered dominant?

Yahoo uses the bing index, and aside from Google, Bing, and Yandex the only other larger english general search engine with its own index is Mojeek. Seirdy’s blog has more info on this along with reviews of more niche engines, and there is also the search engine map if you want something more visual.
