Meh, what would be your great response to Tree + Water?

A human can only generate a small fraction of the combinations and would have a hard time coming up with most combinations which are already nonsensical.

What is your non-disappointing idea for, idk, Tears + Pottery (AI: Bowl) or Money + Salt Lick (AI: Cow) or Skull + Lake (AI: Loch Ness) or Dracula + Pirate (AI: Vampirate) or Curse + Money (AI: Debt)? Now do that thousands of more times.

The infinite aspect is the thing that keeps it interesting, I think. The fun is getting a new, weird result like "Dracula" and "Pot of Gold" and seeing if you can generate new weird results from the existing set.

Loch Ness? I skipped to the Loch Ness Monster. Got the Lake only later on. And then I got Nessie.

This is a Quagmire

Tree + Water is easy: Mangrove, Bald Cypress, Rhizophora, etc

I wouldn't consider those to be better. You're enhancing the tree side of the equation but gave no examples of the water side.

And why didn't you do the rest of my examples? ;)

Money + Salt Lick makes sense, if it’s a Cash Cow.

I somehow got to Mega Evolution which I got from megalodon and some pokemon, but don’t ask me how to get to Pokémon.

Anyway, once you get that kind of a modifier, anything’s game for megaification.
