I suggest reading the proceedings of SIGBOVIK: https://sigbovik.org/

Sample papers:

* The Ballmer Peak: An Empirical Search

* Selected investigations into egg logic

* Are Centaurs Actually Half Human and Half Horse?

* Unconventional Commits: An Exploration Beyond the Mundane

* Use-After-Freemoji: How Custom Emoji Replacement Retroactively Corrupts User Intent

I assume this paper will be submitted for a conference - if not it should have been.
