I love that, as a non-emacs user I can't really tell if M-x describe-feelings is a real thing or not.

I actually just checked and it isn’t, but it would not surprise me if it was real, given there are commands such as `M-x butterfly`, `M-x fortune` or `M-x doctor` in Emacs [1].

M-x psychoanalyze-pinhead is one of my favorites. (Doctor+yow, aka Eliza plus zippy the pinhead quotes)
