If you browse the web enough (I do!) then you’ll come across a lot of filler text, AKA Lorem Ipsum.
It’s usually the same text over and over again:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum
So some enterprising person has actually gone to great lengths to come up with a replacement “Bacon Ipsum“, which, as the name suggests is “pig flavoured”. Not only do they generate the filler text, but they’ve also gone to the trouble of providing APIs and code samples in a number of programming languages!
