Many of the gismu have fine distinctions -- too fine, in my opinion. Consider the difference between jars and bottles and such -- there is no need to retain this difference in Lojban. We should boldly simplify the gismu set.

I thus humbly suggest that we should replace all the gismu with {badna}.

I am going to assume this is intended as a joke.

It's not funny.

Lojban forums have a long history of failed 4/1 jokes. Good to see the tradition carried on.
