Weirdly hypnotic watching semi-random words come out, tbh

#Powershell to stick 4 random words from file together:

$pw = "" For ($num = 1 ; $num -le 4 ; $num++) { $word = get-random $($(cat .\data\words.txt ).split() | where {$_.length -gt 4}) $word = (Get-Culture).TextInfo.ToTitleCase($word) $pw = “$pw$word” } $pw
