I spent some time thinking of NKIs while having breakfast and came up
with these:

The rusted gates of a long-abandoned bemusement park.
A little teapot, short and stout.
It's a concatenation of circumstances.
It's part of a complete breakfast.
It's an incomplete breakfast.
An empty lightbulb socket, wired to a lemon rind.
A recharging station. You resume your search with renewed vigour.
A naked singularity. You avert your eyes.
Two magnets cling to each other in the darkness.
It's a stone, unturned.
A copy of "starshipfindsspacekitten" from a thousand years in the future.
A copy of "golemfindswerekitten" from a thousand years in the past.
A Gregorian date palm, fronds gently waving.
You see a wild goose, eyeing you cautiously and ready to take flight.
It's a boondock, though no boons are currently tied up there.
A baby catapult, and a little pile of pebbles.

I checked the current git NKI file, and I'm pretty sure none of them are
duplicates, but I might be vaguely remembering other NKIs I've seen in
the past that aren't in the current git list for whatever reason.
