Hah, I just noticed that the url has base64 json in it. Is there a name for this pattern? `{"w": "googler", "d": "an idle person", "p": "noun", "e": "my googlers runnin' over the kitchen sink"}`
That's just a query string with extra steps.
Author here! Funny to see this at the top of HN today -- happy to answer any questions (source code is here https://github.com/turtlesoupy/this-word-does-not-exist ) Shameless plug for my other "this x does not exist": This Fucked Up Homer Does Not Exist https://www.thisfuckeduphomerdoesnotexist.com/
No specific question, but thank you for the highly entertaining (and interesting) site; I've had a blast with it. "A Way With Words" would probably love this.

Hey now, they're not just "digital trading cards, like pokemon or baseball cards"! They're also an enormous waste of resources! Yeesh. At least collectors of sports memorabilia have some memorabilia to admire. I can't imagine what value-add there is for "NBA Top Shots" that I can't replicate by backing up a short clip of the play. My solution is more durable, too!
Gold is just a rock. Why do all humans value that nonsense so much?
Which would suggest that if gold and copper had the same supply, the demand would be similar and thus the price would be the same. It turns out that's approximately correct— the ratio of gold and copper's prices is similar to the ratio of their supply.

It would be an amazing screensaver, just iterations upon iterations of Fucked Up Homers.

It's just digital trading cards, like pokemon or baseball cards. Just amateurs are running the show now, but the NBA already got in on this, so if you want something more legit: https://nbatopshot.com/

Are you able to provide data comparing the footprint of NFT's to baseball cards, Magic the Gathering cards, paintings, etc?
Do you even know what you're talking about? Or just regurgitating some talking points you heard somewhere?

Three kids later and I never did it.

Frankly, I'm mocking it. Or trying to. Riffing on it? NFTs strike me as obvious nonsense -- why not use all that energy for something more useful, like piping /dev/urandom to /dev/null -- but NFT sales of obvious nonsense, of an algorithmic corruption of an artistic representation of a shared cultural totem, are almost high art. Like, unpleasantly high art. Way too high art. Art that makes me want to go lie down for…
Lately HN feels like just recycled Matt Levine.
