///nostra.frikken.damus :smiley:

My current favourite is ///routine.mops.repeated

Geocoding of the entire planetary surface into 3 metre squares, defined by a permanent 3 word “address”. Like they say on their site:

3 word addresses are easy to say and share, and are as accurate as GPS coordinates.
51.520847, -0.19552100 ←→ /// filled.count.soap
People use what3words to find their tents at festivals, navigate to B&Bs, and to direct emergency services to the right place.

Honestly don’t know why it hasn’t gained much traction here - it’s perfect for finding rural area locations, “unnamed street” addresses, outdoor locations, etc.
