Wait these titles are randomly generated? I just got "18 Wives with stupendous jugs"

So did I. Makes me suspect it's not completely random...

Seems like they committed/pushed their Flickr API key[0] secret? Or is it just a dummy value? 0. https://github.com/bsansouci/fuzzbeed/blob/master/server.js#...

Note that there is more to BuzzFeed than listicles (listicles are about 26% of all BuzzFeed articles), although they are certainly the most notable part of BuzzFeed content. In fact, the "The [X]" listicle prefix construction has died off. I wrote a blog post this week about the subject: http://minimaxir.com/2015/01/linkbait/ (HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8893448 )
