Bacon Ipsum vs ItsThisForThat

Bacon Ipsum

Bacon Ipsum is a meat-obsessed lorem ipsum generator: a single GET to its /api/ endpoint returns randomized filler text mixing butcher-case cuts (brisket, capicola, pastrami, andouille) with standard Latin ipsum boilerplate, tunable by paragraph or sentence count and meat-to-filler ratio. There's no key, account, or rate limit in front of it — just JSON by default, with plain text and HTML output also available via a format parameter.

ItsThisForThat

ItsThisForThat is a single-endpoint novelty generator that mashes two random tech buzzwords into a startup-style "X for Y" pitch (e.g. "Google Analytics for Pandas"), served from a PHP script that's been running unchanged since at least 2018. The same api.php endpoint supports three output modes via query string — ?json for JSON, ?call=name for a JSONP callback, and ?text for a plain sentence — with no key, signup, or documented rate limit. There's no CORS header on any response, so browser code needs a same-origin proxy even though the endpoint itself is fully public.
