Couldn't build up to doesn't mean they didn't exist... it took me a while to make a "Sandwich". But after spending enough (too much) time with it, I was able to construct some things that show it's not disappointingly finite: * "Bollygraff" * "Teen Mom 12" * "Hackimus Prime" * "Billionaire King + Sushi Burger Venus" (sic) One potentially frustrating part is that some things turn out to be black holes... for example,…

You can combine Trump with the Empire State Building to get Trump Tower. Also I think Trump + Money was Bankruptcy. And there's Trumpthuluh obviously.

I got

Rich + Rich = Richer

Richer + Richer = Richest

Richest + Poop = Trump

Tree + Water = river was also pretty baffling. Unfortunate. I can see the appeal of using an LLM for this but the results are pretty mediocre.

Meh, what would be your great response to Tree + Water? A human can only generate a small fraction of the combinations and would have a hard time coming up with most combinations which are already nonsensical. What is your non-disappointing idea for, idk, Tears + Pottery (AI: Bowl) or Money + Salt Lick (AI: Cow) or Skull + Lake (AI: Loch Ness) or Dracula + Pirate (AI: Vampirate) or Curse + Money (AI: Debt)?

> fire + fish = sushi Literally unplayable. EDIT: apparently I'm the first to discover "Captain Tokyo"? EDIT: and "Captain Tiamat". Had no idea those are even things. Seems like I'm the designated captain discoverer. More to the list: - Captain Penguin Universe - Captain Penguin Planet - Captain Penguin Multiverse - Captain Poseidon Multiverse - Captain Jack Poseidon - Captain Jack Tiamat - Captain Everything Jack Sp…

Seems you’re playing with it quite a lot for somebody who’s described it as “literally unplayable”.

I see jokes at the expense of cooked fish in sushi don't get past you :)

I don't get it; maybe it's broken in my browser. I can drag 4 types of items to a floating grid that connects them but then nothing happens. EDIT: Ah, you drag items on top of each other for them to change. Instructions unclear, and I am dumb.
