homogenizes
Blends into sameness
Homogenizes means to make uniform or consistent throughout.
Milk is homogenized by breaking down fat globules so cream doesn't separate.
More broadly, to homogenize is to blend diverse elements into sameness: Globalization homogenizes local cultures.
The word often carries a negative connotation—suggesting loss of variety or distinctiveness.
