I wish this graphic had the old name as well.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Something I find interesting, lino was replaced by vinyl which was worse and plasticy but cheaper and the name carried over.
Most people when they think of floor lino thinka actually of vinyl rather than the actual original!
Vinyl is horrible, but I really like LVP. I guess the solution was more vinyl.
Chapstick goes all the way back to the 1880's? Holy shit!
That was a good almost 100 year run, yo-yo.
Missing Hoover
I dunno, I don't know anyone who doesn't call it a vacuum. I know people who own Hoover's and they still call it their vacuum.
That's UK English vs. American English. I think American English might genericise (if that's a word) trademarks more often than UK English, but hoover is one that the UK has that America doesn't.
It's probably American biased. In the US it's commonly called a 'vacuum' or 'vacuum cleaner.' 'Hoover' is not used much in US.
Only in UK.
Where is hoover
Congressional cemetery
This is fucking hook and loop.
