There is an old browser extension called Cloud to Butt, which does nothing but replace the first string with the second. Similar concept, if the "cloud" buzzword is the most annoying thing on the web to you. In 2014 or so, I forked it and expanded the replacement list to include some celebrity names. Turns out that keeping that updated and "complete" was more effort than I wanted to put into it. But, for a while, "President Butt" was a common phrase in my browser, and it still makes me giggle.

I made a "[in the] cloud" to "[on the] Moon" extension a while back, and I loved reading about Amazon's Moon Computing cluster, or how X company saved money by moving to the Moon, etc. And it would let me know that tomorrow's weather was going to be partly Moony with a chance of rain. It made me smile so many times. I should revive it - dumb fun is a lot of fun.

  > tomorrow's weather was going to be partly Moony with a chance of rain It may have been Tumblr rotting my brain all throughout high school and college; but this reads as so incredibly poetic and I'm extremely happy to have made a decision to stumble in this thread to read it. It's so nice to make a silly little app and have it surprise you in the best ways.

    The weather app I use (Carrot) will say Moony instead of Sunny at night.

I have one that replaces "God" with "Nicolas Cage" and it's hilarious.

Internally, Google has a page with emergency contacts for every product in the company. Naturally, there any many Cloud products there. Someone with the Cloud to Butt extension edited the page to update their teams details, not realizing they were also changing every Cloud product in the process.
