Prediction Market

A marketplace where people trade shares in the outcome of future events — basically, a stock market for opinions. Prices move based on what traders believe will happen, from “Will it rain tomorrow?” to “Will Minnesota finally win a championship?”

It’s where degens, data nerds, and wannabe Nostradamuses collide — except now, it’s not just politics and crypto. Platforms like Kalshi, BettorEdge, and Polymarket are bringing prediction markets to sports, letting fans actually buy and sell belief instead of betting against the house.

“Bro, I just made $50 predicting the Patriots wouldn’t blow a fourth-quarter lead on prediction markets.

Guess I’m officially a market analyst now.”

seidel prediction

A meta prediction about the progression of a story. At any point in a story, a seidel prediction can be created by making several predictions, how the story will progress, with the goal of one of them being close to the actual progression of the story. The goal of a seidel prediction is to be able to declare that one already knew how the story will go on, that it was predictable and basically boring.

A: See? I knew It! Exactly as i said it would end. The sotry was so predictable.
B: Dude, the 9 other endings you predicted did happen, what about that? That totally was a seidel prediction.

lazy-productive person

A lazy-productive person isn’t someone who likes to get things done so they can be lazy later.

I define myself as a lazy-productive person because I want to get things done so I can smoke out of my bong at night and read.

Re-productive

Getting stuff done just on a delayed timeline but at a relaxed pace

I slept in today but have to get things done, so it's been a very re-productive day

diere prediction

Refers to any horrendous-possible-future-event statement like, "You will almost certainly drop dead if you don't buy/do this" that is made by someone who often is just selfishly trying to manipulate you into bowing to their wishes/ideas. Under ordinary circumstances, about the only type of thing that would be of valid concern would be something like smoking or taking certain medications.

During my visit to the ER with acute pleurisy during the late fall of '02, the doctor --- probably in a selfish effort to further milk MaineCare --- attempted to scare me into having my appendix removed by informing me that I would "very likely" not survive unless I had that operation. I knew that it was just an inflamed pleural sac, though, so in spite of the doctor's diere prediction, I said no thank you, and took a cab home. My sister gave me some calcium pills and I rested in bed for most of the morning and afternoon, and then the following day I was actually recovered enough to "bundle up like a mummy" and walk a mile through the bitter cold to visit some friends. That was well over fifteen years ago, and I'm still alive and kickin'!

Pseudo-productive

Adjective

Only slightly productive or unproductive; lying on a spectrum between "total waste of oxygen" and "you solved world hunger"

Instead of choosing between studying and Netflix, i chose to be pseudo-productive and do a bit of both
