Here, what do you think?

infosciatic.com: If you're a researcher looking for obscure work that's easy to plagiarize, Infosciatic is the app for you. Infosciatic can search through billions of obscure papers in your field, and find ones no one has read. Using advanced AI, Infosciatic's secret algorithm will rewrite these unread papers into a thesis-worthy document.

froqueting.com: Tired of reloading a page to search for information? Froqueting will do the work for you — the minute your search term appears on the page, it will screenshot it, send you a notification, and save that page in the Wayback Machine. API access is available for enterprise organizations.

unbrided.com: Do you suspect your fiance is cheating on you? Unbrided offers a one-stop SaaS service to search your partner's phone for evidence. If you find any, unbrided will fast-track you to a therapist, moving company, and offers for a new apartment.

Variation: play it with domains names that are actually in use and you'll get two games for the price of one!

Game #1: like you said

Game #2: pick three answers from Game #1, combine with the actual product under the given domain name, and have players guess which one is the correct one.

Obviously, you'd need two different groups of players.

So many of these domain names sound like plausible names of name-brand prescription drugs..
[+] ThePadawan|5 years ago|reply
Back in high school, password generation for the students was ((consonant)(vowel)) times 3.

That algorithm alone is enough to end up with drugs for days.

Renova. Polina. Noreto. Baturo!

[+] mr__y|5 years ago|reply
I got monocytogen.com. Definitely a name for a drug.
[+] lostlogin|5 years ago|reply
That or rare diseases. There is something quite medical or anatomic about a lot of them.

Very curious to hear about the training set for these. If I had to guess, someone scraped GoDaddy/Google Domains/Namecheap for the "premium domains" that are being squatted on and then trained a language model on that corpus. Hopefully the OP can provide details!
[+] mattkevan|5 years ago|reply
Missed a big opportunity to call it ‘This Domain Does Not Exist’.
[+] palad1n|5 years ago|reply
Yeah, I used to speculate in domain names, and the ones that are coming up remind me of the crap ones I used to register before I knew what I was doing. Every once in a while you come up with unused ones that really stick out (like I remember there was "atomictangerine.com"), but otherwise I would recommend trying something more recognizable in a different tld (like "helloworld.blue" or something—there are a lot these days). My 2c.
[+] ramraj07|5 years ago|reply
If anyone still wants a simple cool TLD .com, try out names with hyphens. They're almost completely unexplored and I personally see no downside (except typing the domain in a mobile keyboard but who types domains anyways).
[+] ben174|5 years ago|reply
Love this! FYI site is broken in portrait mode iOS safari.
[+] jtsiskin|5 years ago|reply
There’s something funny about an otherwise very advanced project being broken due to css issues.

No matter how far you advance in the field you will still need to google how to center a div

[+] lockyc|5 years ago|reply
Love it, I have been looking for something like this for quite a while. Already bought two domains for projects :D
[+] poulsbohemian|5 years ago|reply
There are so many of these words that in the hands of the right companies with a brain cell would be billion dollar ad campaigns. My partner and I have been clicking refresh for at least 45 minutes now playing around with ideas and are now sad at the number of missed opportunities to build brilliant, creative campaigns are represented by these seemingly throw-away domains.
[+] daenz|5 years ago|reply
Some years ago I wrote a proof-of-concept chrome extension for "unlocking" domain names. https://github.com/amoffat/hash-n-slash

The basic idea was that we should be able to use anything as a routable domain name, and not just limit it to short words or phrases.

[+] noman-land|5 years ago|reply
This is super neat but also sorta defeats the whole purpose of domain names, which is to have memorable names that point to hard to remember IP addresses. This creates impossible to remember hashes that point to difficult to remember IP addresses.

This is essentially content addressing + location addressing.

If you're not familiar, IPFS does content addressing in a really cool way.

[+] gruez|5 years ago|reply
But what's preventing squatters from squatting all the valuable hashes? eg. pizza.com is valuable, so with the same logic you can also squat hash(pizza).
[+] adventured|5 years ago|reply
beemods.com, severestimation.com, sculpabag.com, polysemaphores.com, brimlet.com, lungocephalographic.com, saltcoatedoak.com, backalache.com, whiffard.com, haggitygoosey.com, externist.com, trunche.com, globefluid.com, hackergater.com, quagmosis.com, glooshy.com, punctualize.com, cheeziness.com, wristfist.com, redactal.com

(five letters is the shortest I got: rohvy.com)

I offer up these domains to my fellow HNers, to utilize in the pursuit of billion dollar dreams.

[+] donmcronald|5 years ago|reply
It told me one.com and pump.com were available. Obviously they're not.
[+] brundozer|5 years ago|reply
I feel tempted to buy kleptosphere.com just to imagine someone's confusion the day they would want to buy it but get greeted with a "Sorry, this domain name is taken" instead.
[+] macintux|5 years ago|reply
Similar theme, I grabbed griftware.com when the site generated it. No idea what I’d use it for.
[+] dannyw|5 years ago|reply
Was literally looking fo a two word .com that was available. Thank you
[+] bdcravens|5 years ago|reply
So far the only ones it has generated for me resembling English are quite NSFW
[+] Azeralthefallen|5 years ago|reply
I got fistable.com

I am more impressed that hasn't been bought.

[+] dannyw|5 years ago|reply
Corkmonger.com is my favourite.

Rothole.com another one.

[+] irrational|5 years ago|reply
Spermatolite.com

I can see having some fun coming up with the business behind a domain name.
