Apparently I made 2 first discoveries, Meteorism and Rap God. Seems interesting, but after a while of things not combining it gets a little stale. I agree with others I kind of would like to see the lineage of the elements. I know of this video where Carykh graphed is own combination game, but all new element names were user provided. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQWwfYSUckY

Well I guess I wasn't doing weird enough combinations before, I now have (Hip hop + Crusade) Crusade Hop, T-Pain, (T-Pain + Painting) T-Painting, Haikupoid, Rapping, Slim Shady and the others already mentioned. I do like that I can convince it to make completely new concepts as long as the 2 inputs are weird enough.

I've the entire solar system is there a way to know if it's a first?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

A lot of combinations return instantly, so I assume that it is in fact caching a lot.

oh I just realized that 'isNew' in the response refers to a global set, not the user set. So, I guess it's doing exactly what I said lol.

I just went back and did some new combinations with early ones and I'm still getting intermittent delays even though all early combinations must be done, so I assume part of this is just the server itself being a little overloaded and so even responses that are cached remotely but not locally may experience delays.

It says "First discovery" e.g. https://i.imgur.com/iagu3WZ.png

Frankly I want to watch an animation of all the combinations as they are discovered/created over time from their backend. Seeing a growing 'tech tree' from the exploration and imaginations of users would be delightful.

Barackasaurus was fun.

I managed to kinda break it. I managed to get “Steam Engine” and “Hacker”. I combined those to make “Steam Punk”. (Fair enough.)

Everything that’s combined with Steam Punk ends up being stupid and boring.

Steam Punk + Zombie = “Steam Zombie”

Steam Punk + Hacker = “Steam Hacker”

Steam Punk + UFO, which you’d think would be “Zeppelin” or something, is instead “Steam UFO”.

Steam Punk + Illusion is, bafflingly, “Steampunk”, all one word, and with a different emoji!

Tutankhamun + Pirate = Captain Jack Sparrow

Tutankhamun + Captain Jack Sparrow = Pirate King

Pirate King + Mountain = One Piece

One Piece + Pirate King = Luffy

*perfect
