I'm sure this thread is full of this, but I really liked this one. noun. subsequentity sub·se·quen·tity (in Kantian philosophy) a system of contenting, or, rather, a discourse on the content of that discourse "subsequentity to the abolition of monism"

Hi, I took the time to try to answer your question in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28893728; would you be willing to clarify?

filtering objectionable content actually requires you to build a strong AI model capable of being offended itself, so it knows to hold its tongue in mixed company edit: lest i leave this comment totally useless, the chatbot engine “chatscript” has pretty good capabilities for disambiguating word meaning and classifying the meanings into “badword” and “verybadword” - its free/libre software and very high performance.…

Objectionable is subjective.

So is skillful language use. We nonetheless think it is achievable without using wetware.

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/

Regrettably I hit refresh, but one word it said did not exist was "geochronology"

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?

No, gold is an amazing substance in its own right. There are rarer and scarcer metals, but gold is special. This conversation relies in some part on the ductility and conductivity of gold to power our computers. It doesn’t tarnish and it is very malleable. This means you can shape it into some very beautiful and durable forms with even crude hand tools. The potential value add is very large. It’s use to back currencies is largely symbolic but it was chosen for good reasons.

Some of these could exist if we just start using them. The best one I've found: tootbox toot·box a place where something, especially music, plays "do you need a tootbox in your bedroom?" https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/FKYq

Yes, they often read like words from an alternate reality where the chaos of language use & neologisms went just a little bit differently.

It reminds me of Grandpa Simpson's "Onion on your belt" story.

My word was a bit disturbing. Meat cooked in a sauce of raw meat over ice. Yum. Plumata: a dish with layers of meat, vegetables, or seafood cooked in a sauce of raw meat, vegetables, and herbs, typically over ice and typically served with other fresh ingredients

Similarly: parceleducate parcele·d·u·cate transfer (the intestines) into offspring, typically as a sacrifice Sounds like an SCP ritual. SCP-6121 Object class, Keter. Upon the birth of offsprings SCP-6121-A, subject will feed SCP-6121-A via the process of parceleducation. Intestinal matter will be sourced from the closest biological entity within a 300 metre radius, replacing the organic tissue with an organ SCP-6121-…

Another SCP-sounding one:

noun. endosciller en·dosciller

    a surgical instrument that conceals the central organs so as to be able to swallow blood
    "a cardiac endosciller"
