the word 'pet' comes from the Gaelic 'peata' meaning tame animal
so just know that when you say
give my little petty pet a petty pet on its petty pet head
that's two different etymologies.
when I started this blog I was really into writing words that turned up zero Google results. I have also since archived a lot of those posts so they probably still don't turn up any results. I have also forgotten the words.
If you want to experience what this is like for yourself, the next time you're at the beach pick up a handful of sand and say, "I bet no one has thrown this exact handful of sand before!" and throw it into the ocean and think to yourself, "yeah. I did something today."

Just riffle shuffle a deck like 5+ times and you will have created a sequence of cards in a deck that has almost certainly never existed before in the universe. Unless you just opened a fresh, fully sorted deck of cards, in which case maybe riffle shuffle it 10 times or so. I don't know the exact count of shuffles needed but it's unintuitively small
