I once had an idea for a dating app where you could just put a profile up and then set yourself to a unique mode where you would essentially automatically match with anyone who swiped right but also you couldn't scroll through profiles either.

My working name for the app was "Settle"

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

This but just for people in former colonies, call it Settlr

"Settle", but it's Tinder Al-Quds

I have this confirmation bias where every time I hear the name of a new app or service and think "that's so stupid who would choose a name like that for a product", 100% of the time it's massively successful, and i often end up using it.

I remember a psych professor h I had had to choose a pronounceable word with no linguistic value and she settled on "plinth". Very embarrassing.

Zumf probably means something already.

[–] MLRL_Commie@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Plinth does sound fake, though. If you were saying s nonsense sentence and threw in plinth, I'd forget it was a real word immediately.
