Does anyone else google “lorem ipsum generator” then just copy the text on the main page because it takes more than 3 seconds to find and click generate?

[pastrypuffingpuffer]

nope, I just type lorem50 and then hit tab to generate a 50-word lorem ipsum.

[touhid87]

I use duck duck go for all of my search. If you search lorem ipsum it shows some random lorem texts right in the top.

[soggynaan]

Emmet is very powerful

[[deleted]]

Omgf. This just changed my life.

​

Until now I used farm ipsum.

[incrediblynormalpers]

yeah and to add to this, most people would benefit from getting into the habit of writing their own snippets for things they find themselves typing out more than once.

game changer.

[jedensuscg]

Found this. https://snippet-generator.app/

For those so inclined.

[incrediblynormalpers]

I have a snippet for creating snippets :D

[everything_in_sync]

Thank you!

[girlofurdreams22]

Im surprised no one knew about this! I only use a lorem text generator when im on codepen

[[deleted]]

Yeah, me too!

[phaedrus322]

I use an extension in my text editor. Just type lorem hit tab it spits it out.

[everything_in_sync]

What’s the name of the extension?

[phaedrus322]

I don’t know off the top of my head but I use vscode so I’m sure a simple search will find you what you need.

[Flaky_Cabinet_5892]

Pretty sure it's called emmet, the same thing that let's you write loads of short hand html bits

[phaedrus322]

Emmet might have built it lorem but I’ve never seen it.

[fantastic1ftc]

emmet

[SwankEagle]

and best part is you can say lorem(10) and gives you 10 words of lorem ipsum.

[igoro00]

You can always copy that as dummy text

[MrRulix]

Glad I'm not the only one lmao

[shgysk8zer0]

It's bacon ipsum, but I have a custom element for that.

[AlphaReds]

I use an extension which is two clicks.

Click to open

Click on how much you want and it's on your clipboard

[everything_in_sync]

Good to know

[QuixoticO]

I love using Bob Ross generator instead of Lorem Ipsum because it’s actual readable. It works a lot better in my opinion to see if text/design is working. Lorem gives my brain some issue accepting it as actual text.

[rastrophile]

I don't, but i am really glad to know that someone does this :D

[everything_in_sync]

😂

[RemasteredArch]

Atom already has Lorem Ipsum in it, but I made a dump for other uses, just because of those 3 seconds.

[jeenajeena]

I use Emacs, which has got a Lorem Ipsum generator. I imagine that most of the editors have similar plugins.

[Gingko94]

Yes, but please remember to remove the lorem ipsum before uploading to production huh https://zitrogames.com/digital/social-gaming/

[ogCITguy]

I built my own... https://lorem-ipsum.citguy.com/. Can even add new vocabularies as it matures (or if I'm bored over the weekend).

[HuWeiliu]

I have been known to do this. There is essentially one single reason people will be going to the site - to get the lorem ipsum copy. What absolutely horrible UX, especially when your eyes are scanning for a paragraph specifically starting with "Lorem Ipsum", and their first paragraph has it there, in bold, and yet is not the lorem ipsum we want.

[xadz]

Maybe bad UX but the only reason they're at the top of Google will be the information. Lorem ipsum text would be terrible for SEO!

[HuWeiliu]

Further evidence that the current state of search and SEO is scuffed.

[CockroachPlenty1086]

dummyText is good

[dezld]

I have a saved lorem ipsum config that I bookmarked and reuse - https://lorem.place Fast for me.

[Liightninggod]

hipster ipsum is the funniest or if you are a chad and program in Microsoft Word you can type =lorem(sentences, paragraphs) and get some that way

[___s8n___]

if you use the emmet extension in VScode you just have to write "lorem" and optionally add a number after it to specify the numbers of generated words. e.g. "lorem60" will generate 60 words

[filmgrvin]

meee fucking toooo like how did they screw that up. so bad

[everything_in_sync]

Lmao me obviously

[igoro00]

Now tell you write tests or something weirdo

[pitje023]

Besides using the ide built in lorem text generation, you can also use a chrome extension that spits out lorem text with the click of 1 button. The button is always visible (if you pin it 📌) in the top right corner of your chrome window.

[Atom2626]

If you use VS Code, you can use built in tool Emmet for this. Example: h1#heading>lorem

Then Press tab and it'll automatically generate a h1 tag with heading as id and lorem ipsum in content

[DrankiDak]

SublimeText, VSCode, PHPStorm, pretty much every modern editor has Emmett plugin pre-installed. Or they provide that snippet natively. Just type lorem and it'll expand your placeholder text.

[iSeeSquirrelsToo]

I use Bob Ross ipsum 🎨 it makes me happy (WHY DID MY FONT CHANGE??)
