a bit NSFW: https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/HgkP pussygasm pussy·gasm excessive or erotic fondness for one's genitals "he shared a cocky but disgusting puke and was subjected to even more pussygasm in his younger years"

If its from Urban Dictionary, there will be lots of words gasm.

> noun. > manucca > a forest, especially one with trees or shrubs that grow from the sea or mountain in the center "she went diving together on manucca Lake" It would probably be good if this had a filter applied to filter out words that already are defined.

> adverb. > unconciously > un·con·ciously

Yeah, pretty sure this is a word too!

Sorry to the author but this one doesn't pass the sniff test for me. Generally, the syllable breaks for these words are not quite correct. The two words that I got were Paulotomy and systerectomy. These were broken into Paulo-tomy and sys-terec-tomy. That generally goes against length-of-syllable-in-English rules that... I can't articulate. I would break these into pau-lo-to-my and sys-ter-ec-to-my (sys-trec-to-my wo…

Syllables should always have only one vowel (technically nucleus) in them, which means that the bogus "syllables" the website is producing can't be real syllables - that might be the rule that you can't articulate. However, the website actually does not use GPT-2 to produce the syllables, it uses the library "pyhyphen". This library provides (misleadingly) a function claiming to create a list of syllables from a word…

Would it be correct to say that syllables in English are made of nuclear vowel phonemes and valent phonemes which could be vowel or consonant in nature? I’m not a linguist, but I’m very interested in language and how words are constructed.

You might need some filtering. I got the following output for my 7th or 8th try (I did s/ig/*/g because I hate typing this): noun. n*gerbar n*·ger·bar a bar from which the beer and liquor are sold "that party got a whole lot cooler this week with a n*gerbar refreshment" a word that does not exist; it was invented, defined and used by a machine learning algorithm.

Ah crap, good call. I did a first-pass at filtering for the ones displayed on the site but my regex must have had some misses.

Not as bad, but also probably something for a "blocklist": cockshop a shop selling flannel and scarves

Alright! Someone shilling on my behalf. Say what you want about NFTs, every time I see one of the homers sell it brings a big smile to my face.

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…

Frankly, you failed :-)

I'm as sceptic to crypto as almost anyone but this was one of the nicer ideas.

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 currenci…

Also it is very dense, silver is not so it could be forged too easy.
