Similar to https://github.com/catleeball/tmnt_wikipedia_bot but search for "(Now You're Just) Somebody That I Used To Know" instead of "Teeange Mutant Ninja Turtles".

For fun! This idea came to me, falling asleep at 7am, as a vision of a Twitter account that doesn't exist, but should. Of course I needed to make it a reality. Inspired by https://github.com/catleeball/tmnt_wikipedia_bot which in turn was inspired by https://xkcd.com/1412/

When it runs, it:

• Pulls 25 random Wikipedia article titles
• Checks if they have the same stress pattern as Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know
  • If not, pull 10 more articles ad infinitum until a match is found
• Create fake subtitles on Gotye's music video

This script requires the following:

• Python >= 3.7
  • Earlier may work, only tested on 3.7
• Via PyPi:
  • pronouncing
  • num2words
  • PIL

Configuration is entirely lib/constants.py.

Performance could be improved, but it doesn't need to be a blazing fast optimized program. Most if it will be spent waiting to get more article titles, anyway...

• Find an effective pattern, I get very few matches currently...
• Improved configuration
• Use multiple images instead of one

Super bonus points:

• CI
• cache of titles : stresses
