Bacon Ipsum vs What The Commit
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.
What The Commit serves an endless stream of joke commit messages drawn from a fixed pool, built to be piped into git commit -m when you can't think of anything better. The plain-text /index.txt endpoint returns one message per request for shell scripting and git aliases, and a live /index.json endpoint wraps the same message with a stable hash and permalink. It's free, keyless, and carries no rate limit or pricing page.
