scheissenfreude 

1. the beautiful feelings of transformation that are expressed on the faces that get shat on in german scheisse porn.

2. the feelings of relief that most people who see the video get because shit's not their kink.
"I'm so happy I can feel the weight of of your turd curling around from my upper lip, over my wide-open eye and across my forehead! The aroma is giving me the most excrellent scheissenfreude I've ever felt!"

"young Thai lady-boys give me a boner but I feel great scheissenfreude that there are no diapers involved."

Scheiterfreude 

(n.) SHY-ter-froy-duh from German 'scheitern' (to fail) + 'Freude' (joy)

The perverse pleasure one gets from watching their own life go down in flames, usually followed by posting about it on social media. Like Schadenfreude's self-destructive cousin who never learned to adult properly. Or Schadenfreude's self-loathing cousin who lives in their parents' basement.

When you're laughing at your own mess-ups because hey, at least they'll make a great story later.

You decide to paint your living room for the first time. It ends up looking like a Jackson Pollock painting, but without the artistic intent. You share a selfie in front of your "new art installation" with the hashtag #Scheiterfreude
When you're laughing at your own mess-ups because hey, at least they'll make a great story later.

"After sending that drunk text to my ex, deleting my thesis by accident, and setting my microwave on fire - all in one day - I just sat there experiencing pure Scheiterfreude while eating cold ravioli straight from the can."

"After missing my train, spilling coffee on my white shirt, and sending that embarrassing email to the entire company instead of just my work bestie, I'm sitting here experiencing pure Scheiterfreude while crafting the perfect self-roasting tweet."

schAIdenfreude

Delight in another person's misfortune when they are discovered passing off AI-generated work as their own.
When the Times exposed Steven Rosenbaum's “The Future of Truth” was full of AI-hallunicated quotes, my friends and I guffawed with gleeful schAIdenfreude

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass
(Not to be confused with the literal description of one's buttocks)
"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."
