function: write OHAC show description
inputs: general theme, unused title ideas
outputs: the most descriptor there ever was
copy in description from last episode
// (Note: if the general theme from last episode is too esoteric, try the episode before that one)
let wittiness equal base level
while wittiness is below witty threshold:
modify some lines to better fit general theme
//(Note: this generally proceeds top to bottom, but there is no way to be sure in advance)
for each unused title idea:
make niche joke
evaluate is the reference recognizable?
//(Note: the result doesn’t necessarily have bearing on the inclusion of niche joke, but is good to keep in mind)
if tired:
lower witty threshold
//(Note: the magnitude of this reduction is proportional to the value of tired)
evaluate wittiness
realize how ridiculous it is to put pseudocode in a podcast description
evaluate what are you doing with your life?
