From c2d0788fbd4394e9e8819cf7d17301166e258248 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Byntham <135178921+Byntham@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 17:50:42 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add 14 parody threads drawn from YouTube transcripts Mix prompt lengths within each thread, with long rants next to short replies, since almost every existing prompt was 40 to 119 characters. The wrong-key play test assumed the first word has at least 3 letters. The new pool draws a prompt starting with "i" for seed 1, so the test now looks for the first space after index 2.
