If anyone is not already aware, you should become aware of talktotransformer.com, a site that lets you play with a neural net model similar to the one Janelle Shane used to generate her Discount Strong Bad Emails. Give it any prompt, and it'll try to predict what comes next. Hilarity typically ensues. I've fed it a variety of Homestar-related material to see what sort of nonsense it can churn out. The best kind of nonsense, it turns out. Here are a few sample neural net Homsar quotes (my prompt is in bold, the rest is generated):
I wasn't sure what to expect when I gave it a slice of Yonder Website-speak, but the result was probably one of the best podcast pitches I've ever read:
Sometimes it's hard to tell just what the neural net is thinking, but after some repeated prompting it eventually gave me the names of three new Gregs who sound like interesting gentlemen. Say halosche to Gregarious Greg!
As a side note, one of my earlier Greg attempts produced a load of mostly uninteresting repetitive lines, except for one in the middle, totally different from the rest, that read: "Bacon Bacon is here to take your sanity. Bacon is here to take your sanity. The best way to deal with Bacon is to stay away from him." Which was terrifying, and which I think has serious potential to become the next creepypasta.
I would like to end with this little make-out inducing number from a somewhat alphabetically-challenged neural net to beloved MARZIANJLSK. You'll notice at the end that the neural net can have a bit of a difficult time staying on task.
I'll be posting more, because I have so many more hilarious outputs saved. Play with it yourself and see what it gives you! It's usually worth trying the same prompt multiple times, because the neural net likes to experiment with taking them in different directions.
Edit: Moved to General Discussion because it's more fanstuffy than Homestar Runnery.
"My paste is overwhelmed since Twelvesday."
"If you don't step away from the car, I'll chop your fingers on."
"I'm a touchy feely-holic!"
"I'm a long-standing munch date."
"My name's Millions, and I'm the son of a Chipwich!"
"You bring the dip, I'll mow the side yard!"
"If you don't come to me, I'll chop your head off like a nut!"
"I'm trying to work in the bar! Get out! Get out!"
"I have five fingers of celery left over, but I'm still tired!"
"If there's a little too much coffee in the house, I'll bring it with me!"

Let's let it all slip away, with another soothing episode of: Characters from Yonder Website. That's right. Far out. Now I know some people are gonna think I'm crazy or whatever. But it's not you. If you are so inclined, visit this and see just what makes us tick. In other news. This might be the first episode of a podcast with a lot of content I would have forgotten. Maybe my brain works in weird ways and I forget most things I do for days afterwards. But the end. They all have one thing in common. And if you like what you hear on the show, please support us on Patreon. The more donations, the better. We might get some great content and even add content to the show as we keep doing this. So please, head over to our Patreon page. There we discuss Patreon goals, how we make money (yes, we do!) and just what the h--- is Patreon anyway??

M is for milk. The real stuff! Not soy.
A is for not-organic apples. Pesticides ahoy!
R is for raisins, they give me bad gas!
Z is too hard, so at this one, I'll pass.
I is for an old fashioned wooden spoon.
All over the word
N is for non-organic vegetables. It's all in my head, but I hope it gets out to my students so they know what's best for them!
J is for the word "juicy"
L is for salt!
S is for strawberries
K is for kale, not sure of the nutritional value though
I will never finish this course. I've already had one professor ask if I could take the fourth year of school. No! I am not taking the fourth year of school (even though I've already completed it and earned my diploma!)
My family and I love this language. Thank you so much for providing us with such an opportunity, Mr. and Mrs. Hamer. You have given so much to my own learning as well as to the educational needs of those around you, including my students, and I believe the school administration greatly appreciates your support.
