Attempts must've been made (lemmy.world)

Honestly, I don't believe its fair to say "all you can eat" unless its true. Otherwise, you should put some type of detailed limit.

But attempts must have been made and probably continue.

An attempt was made to get people to come, I believe there was some miscommunication.

An attempt was made to re-brand PayPal to X before this Twitter situation (biz.crast.net)

Elon Musk has tried to re-brand PayPal as "X" years ago and was shot down due to focus groups stating it reminded them of adult websites.

Thiel and PayPal co-founder Max Levchin plotted a coup against Musk while he was on his first vacation in years. The board fired Musk as CEO in September 2000 and replaced him with Thiel. Thiel formally changed the name of the combined company to PayPal in 2001.

An Attempt at less scary gas masks (i.chzbgr.com)

This did not help the situation, imo I don't believe they would actually be considered "less scary". But if they worked, they worked?

Actual article for more details here: Did you know Walt Disney designed the world’s weirdest gas mask?

Seriously, what's the error rate on these things anyways. It's pretty outrageous these days.
