schadenfreude

The feeling of pleasure gathered from watching the suffering of another human being.
Remember the enormous pleasure you got watching dad get kicked in the nuts on AFHV in the 80s, or ogling any fat asshole in the world dancing in bikini briefs or redneck on a crotch rocket who smashes his face in on the old log next to the "swimmin' hole" near his dilapidated shack on YouTube? That's schadenfreude... It's what makes you human... Or a very bad person.

schadenfreude

it's that good feeling when you see your enemy fall down the stairs and be crippled forever knowing that you put the marbles and that he knows but there's no evidence and after that he just dies with still no evidence of you being there

Satenfreude

To take pleasure in the misery of Bitcoin investors when the price drops.

The feeling is often experienced by individuals about whom one or more of the following points may apply:
- Regret about not buying Bitcoin when the price was considerably lower.
- Regret about not buying Bitcoin during a recent dip in price.
- Firm belief that a different asset class (e.g. Gold) is a superior investment.

The word is derived from Satoshi, a fraction of a Bitcoin and often abbreviated to Sat, and schadenfreude.
A feeling of satenfreude came over me as the price of Bitcoin continued to tumble. Maybe those guys at the office will shut up about it now.

Mike just lost a ton of money on crypto. I feel nothing but satenfreude. Hopefully his Lambo breaks down on the freeway too.

Schadenfreude

Basically, that feeling you get watching America's Funniest Home Videos(or a similar show). You're feeling glad that you're not someone experiencing pain. The opposite of sympathy.
Watching someone get stacked(hit in the crotch) and either laughing or cringing. That's Schadenfreude.

Orgin = German: Schaden, damage (from Middle High German schade, from Old High German scado) + Freude, joy (from Middle High German vreude, from Old High German frewida, from fr, happy).
An sense of schadenfreude came over me as I watched a Chevy Suburban with a "W" bumpersticker pull into a gas station advertising $3.89 per gallon.
