There Was An Attempt
This community was abandoned by the previous mods, we're **in need of more mods and added content.** I've been trying to keep it alive. If your interested comment below that your interested. Even if your not interested in a mod position, anybody is able to post "There was an attempt" content for the community to enjoy. Keep in mind that as a moderator, it is up to us to make sure all posts follow the [Lemmy.World’s rules](https://lemmy.world/legal), and the community rules.

Squirrel attempts to fake injury/death with a broom. Failed as it was caught on video, nice try.
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.

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.

Robert Liston performed the only operation with a 300% mortality rate; His patient, his assistant and a spectator died. I'm questioning if it was attempted though, it kinda seems like you'd have to try to kill all three...

> Last year, University of Maryland surgeons made history by transplanting a gene-edited pig heart into a dying man who was out of other options. He survived only two months before the organ failed for reasons that aren't fully understood but that offer lessons for future attempts. Now, the Food and Drug Administration is considering whether to allow some small but rigorous studies of pig heart or kidney transplants in volunteer patients.

For years now Verizon has been locking bootloaders preventing custom ROMs from being used, most commonly the Google Pixel where if purchased from Google it's unlocked but from a carrier (Verizon especially) it's been labeled impossible. Over 3yrs later and the attempt is still a failure.
It's hard to remember all the technology that just didn't make it, it's kind of a great flash back.
An oil change was attempted, if it wasn't for the coolant reservoir being yellow (Which is, of course, the universal color for oil)... Careful out there, read the manual and the labels.
The insurrection is over.
