a while ago i made a UK train station name generator but could never figure out anything good to do with it. it didn't seem interesting enough to just post the names out as-is
anyway i tried running it again just now & it's coming up with some pretty good ones
What I think could be cool would be generating something like this kind of departure board where there's a list of all the stations it calls at
Because that way it'd be generating a bunch of names in one go and thusly increasing the chances of a funny one
But my bot code is not sophisticated enough to do that yet alas
By the way the names of the operators are just random nouns scraped from Wiktionary. Could be literally anything. So imagine my surprise when
Imagine my surprise part two
Literally all the nouns in the English language and it picked that one
@lion hate when the rain is blocked...
@lion I’m two stops after Nutburster and Shitlake
@lion Balsey Beansloe Westof is just the right degree of “is it real” that it would make me question it. Also just fun to say
@lion who up bursting their nuts
one thing i thought about doing was making like fake departure boards with them
