Great idea! Let’s also expel Italy with its fascist government, or France where the nazi woman got 40+% of the votes last time, or the Dutch and their largest faction in their parliament that happens to be far right. Shall I continue?
Mostly harmless

The English word ‘speaker’ has multiple meanings. In Hungarian, there is a different word for a speaker device that casts sound (hangszóró, “sound caster”) and Speaker of the House of Parliament (házelnök, “president of the house”).
Still, when googling one, you may get results for the other. 🤷
We promise it won’t happen again, but when it does happen again, it still won’t matter.
Rest assured that when it does, we will make every effort to promise once more that it won’t happen again.
If you drive. If you use public transport you can inhale other people’s BO instead.
But yes, if you commute, nobody gains only you lose.
Forget the cost of travel, if my commute is one hour, that’s two per day, ten per week, that’s an EXTRA WEEK they demand that I donate of my time to the company each month.

‘life like child sex robots’.
As in, would we as a society want to permit such things, knowing that they could potentially save humans from actual harm if they offer an outlet that scratches an itch? On the other hand, would they bring forth more harmful desires in a greater number of potential perpetrators, leading to even more harm?
Anyway, I’m glad it’s not my job to contemplate such disturbing topics.
Cannon fodder is a gender neutral job.

In the seventies and eighties the communist leaders of Hungary, when talking about the realities of the time introduced some terms to explain the difference of the real world from the ideals.
“Socialism that exists”
“Socialism that works”
The jokes immediately started coming, pointing out that the socialism that exists does not work, while the socialism that works does not exist.
Flour is a common ingredient for thickening stews etc. Not OP, but if I had to guess I’d wager that the flour soaked up all the moisture in the pan, then dried out and started to burn.
The weirdest panto in town.
I just want to mark the occasion when my previous comment is on 69 points. Noice.

If you ever feel useless just remember somebody designed and implemented the share-to-facebook feature on porn sites.
Not related, but I was reminded of this old joke: what’s the difference between God and a doctor? Good doesn’t think he’s a doctor.
This question reminds me of Tim Minchin’s observations of alternative medicine. By definition, alternative medicine has either not been proved to work, or has been proved not to work.
You know what we call alternative medicine that has been proved to work?
Medicine.
What a hot pile of garbled mess… I envy your confidence talking about things that you evidently have absolutely no idea about.
