promiscuously
In undiscerning fashion
Promiscuously means without discrimination or selectivity—mixing things together indiscriminately or applying to many cases without distinction.
The word often describes sexual behavior with multiple partners: He spent his twenties sleeping promiscuously.
But the older sense persists: The books were shelved promiscuously, The virus spreads promiscuously across species.
In both uses, the common thread is lack of careful selection.
