Hey! Honestly didn't expect this to hit the HN top, I've already maxed out all my token limits! If you enjoyed wasting time here, there's a Buy Me A Coffee link in the footer. Thanks for the incredible response! This is why I really love building weird useless stuff for the internet. UPD: You guys are incredibly creative! 15000 products generated and counting. I'm laughing reading all this absurd stuff and crying at…

I'm having a lot of fun with this. I threw you a few bucks to cover my usage a few times over.

ETA:

I would encourage anyone here to throw a buck or two towards the creator. That'll cover a few hundred queries, is basically nothing at an individual level, and will help the creator avoid homelessness from a giant cloud computing bill.

> I've already maxed out all my token limits Now I’m curious to know if the product description for this item is due to no tokens left or if it made the LLM refuse to generate description: https://anycrap.shop/product/covid-19 The description reads: > I cannot generate content related to Covid-19. Can I help you with anything else? Which sounds like the LLM refused. For funsies I asked ChatGPT 5 to generate a descrip…

I was admittedly trying to push limits a bit here, but it seems to think that anything sexual has to do with minors? https://anycrap.shop/product/edible-jizz

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yikes! How much does it cost you per product at this point??

Less then a cent for a product. ~50k products already generated though...

That's actually cheaper than I thought it would be, but that's still a lot of money for an individual! I hope the donations pick up a bit to help offset this.

> The Pi Sided Die is a mathematical novelty designed by mathematicians who dared to defy probability. This six-sided die appears to have six sides, but only five faces display numbers between one and six – the sixth face reveals a cryptic message related to pi's decimal places when rolled correctly.

> When spun onto a flat surface, the die subtly reconfigures into seven distinct orientations, granting users temporary access to advanced statistical insights unavailable through traditional dice-based calculations. Users claim solving complex equations becomes easier after interacting with our unique Pi Sided Dice; however, these benefits typically fade within hours unless reinforced by additional rolls.

The site's too fun not to come back to, so I guess I'm buying the author a coffee

The amazon "I'm sorry but I cannot fulfill this request it goes against OpenAI use policy. My purpose is to provide helpful and respectful information to users-Brown" listing reminds me of this restaurant in Shanghai when I lived there. The chef who opened it was famous in his local area and wanted a beautiful name for the Shanghai location, and have it in English to reflect the cosmopolitan international city of Shanghai. So he chose a line from his favorite poem, put it through google translate and named it, in big letters above the entrance, "Translation not Found".

Edit The story above that I heard was likely an exaggerated version of this: https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=301 - I still like the urban legend version I heard so keeping it up there.
