it's like bacon ipsum, but better!

how it works

requirements

you need nodejs and non-zero knowledge of using the command line

after that just type

node chicken.js

and watch the magic happen.

if you don't want five sentences you can pass it the optional arguments quantity words|sentences|paragraphs depending on how much you need or don't need:

node chicken.js 100 paragraphs

will generate ten paragraphs of chicken ipsum. (if you screw up the input it'll default to five sentences, see the source for details.)

retooling this for other purposes

so the chicken words are loaded from the chicken.ipsum file (it's plain text, you can open it in notepad)

if you want to make it load a different file (not that i know why you'd want to do that), pass it a third command line argument with the name of the plain text file containing the words/terms (each on its own line), like

node chicken.js 3500 paragraphs more\dog.ipsum

23 december 2018 update

there's now a web version, which you can run as an html page instead of a node thing. (you could probably improve it further but i don't really care enough to do that.)

to use it open web/chicken.html in any web browser that isn't totally ancient and it should work.
