Mechanomusicosync

When the repetitive sound of a mechanical machine unintentionally, randomly matches the beat or rhythm of a song that happens to be playing at the same time.

When I visited a letterpress shop, an old Heidelberg letterpress was cranking away and happened to create a mechanomusicosync with the music playing on the shop’s stereo system, and everyone started to dance.

mancer

Mancer is a portmanteau of the words "man" and "cancer" used to describe the negative impact of mankind, particularly on the planetary environment. According to Gaia theory, first formulated by scientist John Lovelock, the Earth is a superorganism. Under this hypothesis, since Homo sapiens is the only species in the history of life on Earth to have negatively impacted the planet's ecosystems and non-human species, humans can be seen as a "cancer" of Gaia.

Due to numerous human-caused planetary crises, including climate change, biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, and deforestation, among others, Earth can diagnosed as suffering from "mancer."
