Computers will never taste a refreshing cookie

Question

Inspired by github.com/JackToaster/Reassuring-Parable-Generator, in turn inspired by xkcd.com/1263. The possible words are derived from the reassuring.cfg of that repository.

Having a look at the reassuring.cfg _{^{(use the 12th commit)}} is suggested to see the grammar the output matches (The output is a list of all strings matching the grammar).

Task: Your program must output all 7968 case-sensitive lines of the exact text contained in the pastebin pastebin.com/2SNAJ1VH. A copy of the pastebin is saved in the Wayback Machine

Here is a sample of 33 motivating lines from the pastebin:

Computers can't enjoy a salad.
Computers can't enjoy a cake.
Computers can't enjoy a ice cream cone.
Computers can't enjoy a meal.
Computers can't enjoy a drink.
Computers can't enjoy a steak.
Computers can't enjoy a chicken dinner.
Computers can't enjoy a piece of cake.
Computers can't enjoy a piece of pie.
Computers can't enjoy a cookie.
Computers can't enjoy a sandwich.
Computers can't taste a salad.
Computers can't taste a cake.
Computers can't taste a ice cream cone.
Computers can't taste a meal.
Computers can't taste a drink.
Computers can't taste a steak.
Computers can't taste a chicken dinner.
Computers can't taste a piece of cake.
Computers can't taste a piece of pie.
Computers can't taste a cookie.
Computers can't taste a sandwich.
Computers can't experience eating a salad.
Computers can't experience eating a cake.
Computers can't experience eating a ice cream cone.
Computers can't experience eating a meal.
Computers can't experience eating a drink.
Computers can't experience eating a steak.
Computers can't experience eating a chicken dinner.
Computers can't experience eating a piece of cake.
Computers can't experience eating a piece of pie.
Computers can't experience eating a cookie.
Computers can't experience eating a sandwich.

Challenge rules:

• The lines output may be ordered in any way you want, but all 7968 of them must be included.
• The output should be as a single flat string, not as a list of strings.
• Your program should accept no input or an empty unused input.
• Your program may not fetch data from any online source.
• A single trailing newline is optional.

This is code-golf, so shortest code wins.

Answer 1

Zsh, 765 bytes

This may be the first thing I’ve ever written in zsh, but it has the incredibly convenient feature of being able to convert arrays to brace expansions (though it’s not as convenient as it should be…). Run with zsh -P (counted as +1 byte), which turns on RC_EXPAND_PARAM.

a=able\ to
b=" be $a"
d=wonderful
i=ing\ a
o=omputer
n="No c$o "
r=ever
p=capable\ of
u=will
w=$u\ n$r
x=experienc
e=(\ {{{enjoy,tast,$x'ing eat'}$i,tast$i\ {delicious,fresh,tasty,refreshing,$d}}\ {salad,cake,'ice cream cone',meal,drink,steak,chicken\ dinner,'piece of '{cake,pie},cookie,sandwich},{understand$i,{enjoy,$x}$i{,\ {beautiful,$d,{inspir,amaz}ing,superb}}}\ {son{net,g},poem,story,play,'piece of music'}}.)
f=(${e:s/cing/ce/:s/sting/ste/:s/ding/d/:s/ying/y})
l=($w won\'t$b {$w,n$r\ $u}{$b,' have the ability to'})
v=($l "won't $r$b")
k=({ca,wo}n\'t $l is{"n't ",\ un}$a)
c=(C$o\s A\ c$o)
printf %s\\n $c\ $k$f C$o's '$v$f $n{can,is\ $a,$u\ $r$b,"is $r going to",{can,$u}\ $r}$f{,} $c\ {is{\ in,"n't "}$p,"cannot $x"e}$e $n{{is,$u\ be}\ $p,"can $x"e}$e

How?

(This is by far one of my most favorite golfs of all time!)

The grammar is stored in the array G, which evaluates to this:

[["beautiful","wonderful","inspiring","amazing","superb"],
 ["sonnet","poem","story","play","song","piece of music"],
 ["salad","cake","ice cream cone","meal","drink","steak","chicken dinner","piece of cake","piece of pie","cookie","sandwich"],
 ["delicious","fresh","tasty","refreshing","wonderful"],
 ["is capable of","can experience","will be capable of"],
 ["can","is able to","is ever going to","can ever","will ever be able to","will ever"],
 ["will never be able to","will never have the ability to","never will have the ability to","never will be able to","won't ever be able to","will never","won't be able to"],
 ["is incapable of","isn't capable of","cannot experience"],
 ["can't","won't","will never","won't be able to","will never be able to","will never have the ability to","never will have the ability to","never will be able to","isn't able to","is unable to"]]

F is a function that splits a string by the delimiter | and iterates through it. So far so good.

F=S=>[].concat(...S.split`|`.map( ... )),

Now what's going on with this inner function?

s=>eval(
    s.match(/\d/g).map(n=>`for(F[${n}]of G[${n}])`).join``+
    `A.push(s.replace(/\\d/g,n=>F[n]));A`,
    A=[]
)

First we initialize an array A. Then we find all the digits in the passed string s and build a sub-program: Using each digit n, we generate a for-of loop that iterates through the entries in G[n] (stored as properties of F, since functions in JavaScript are also objects). The loops are then appended one after another.

For example, the generated sub-program for s="1 2 3" starts like this:

for(F[1]of G[1])for(F[2]of G[2])for(F[3]of G[3])

On each iteration, the sub-program replaces each digit in s with its corresponding replacement, stored in F[n], and the result is pushed to A. The sub-program is evaled and A is implicitly returned.

for(F[1]of G[1])for(F[2]of G[2])for(F[3]of G[3])A.push(s.replace(/\d/g,n=>F[n]));A

Using F, the rest of the program simply builds the remainder of the grammar from the production rules that already exist; replacements are simply defined by a single-digit index in G.

explanation

The output can be split to 48 chunks of 166 lines each. Within each chunk, each line begins with one of Computers|A computer|No computer followed by one of 14 negative (for Computers and A computer) or 9 positive (for No computer) capabilities.
I encoded these chunks to 6 bit each, (3 different subjects -> lower 2 bits; the positive and negative caps share keys -> upper 4 bits), and (probably obvious) added 65 to use the values as ASCII codes.

Within these chunks, 8 verb/adjective combinations for 11 different foods and 13 different combinations for 6 different arts, always in the same order; so they can simply be looped through, using the verb/adjective key to determine wether I have to list foods or beverages in the next loop.

One tricky part remained: Some of the caps require the gerund form of the verb; and some of the verbs lose an e in the transformation. The cap index tells wether that is necessary or not.
^{(and thanks to the order of bits in the encoding I can simply use the ASCII character for the comparison).}
But how? After juggling with regexes for a while, I simply put a 1 where the e has to be replaced with ing and a 0 where ing has to be appended and let strtr do the job.

That´s the story of the ungolfed version above. (1199 bytes packed)

---

The golfing consisted mainly in 3 steps:

1. Most used character sequences were stored to variables.
2. strtr was extended to everything except the subject in order to move variables to strtr.
3. Most of the sequences were moved from variables to strtr.

The 19th word, tast, was replaced with a capital letter to get rid of a couple of quotation marks.

---

I wonder what would happen if I also encoded the verb/adjective combinations.
Maybe I could beat Zsh; but I´m not sure if I wonder enough to try.
