As we all know, from time to time, Facebook puts up random things on our timelines that they say "we might like".

A piece just popped up on mine that was filled with new age nonsense. It contained, among other examples, this sentence.

"We will sing the dreamer to fluid waking in which the hope of perpetual alchemy oozes like liquid gold from our navels of rapturous fire."

I'll give sixpence to anyone who can give me a plausible meaning for it.

Word salad to me. It reminds me of Chomsky's "Colorless green dreams sleep furiously".

My guess is that it is intentional word salad with the hope that once you pause to notice it, you'll consider buying whatever it is they are selling. It's the same idea behind a really clever ad. I don't think it works with many.

I think it was standard new age nonsense. There was a lot more of it and as far as I could tell it was written with sincerity.

This parody site will give you a flavour of the kind of thing.

Sadly the randomly generated stuff makes as much sense as the sincere stuff.

If it's something FB says you 'might like', chances are it's an ad.

...or it was run through Google Translate.

It's gibberish to me...
