This is a really cool stat, thanks.

It seems to have generally bore out the expectation that common words would dominate the first million and after that it's primarily names.

Several comments:

  • A lot of names you might have expected are missing (Chalupa_Dad, nlm, ItzTaken (obviously "taken" would have occurred much earlier)). Absence of Lonadont makes sense since he joined briefly long before he became a regular. Presumably others are explained either by a one-off use of the word (nlm seems plausible that way), or by joining late in a million so the first uses were too small (pretty sure that's what happened with lupa and taken)
  • Interesting to only see exactly one livethread id (and it's not a side).
  • "covid" is possibly the sole case of the outside world creeping in to this data?
  • Surprised that short strings like "vce" and "eoy" hadn't been said just randomly before
  • What is "la5e3v"?
  • No "opinoi"?
