This is a list of silly things created by fellow data scientists.
This was sparked by my own experience of creating something silly because I wanted to learn how to write an R package and wanted to see what other silly things other folks have created.
I want to celebrate their silliness because data science/programming is not limited to work only.
I put this call on Mastodon and the responses formed the basis of this list.
Feel free to submit a PR to add more silly things!
Enjoy!
