Show HN: Correct Horse Battery Staple

2 kripy 3 8/7/2025, 8:53:50 PM chbs.kripy.com ↗

I had this idea in my head for a while. When 1Password updated their UI it got tricky to generate passwords (they've since fixed it) so I wrote my own password generator. It hooks into the macOS dictionary which has over 250k words and pulls out four random words. The correct horse battery staple script then pulls a random style, for the image, from a text file and sends me the output. I am manually entering this into Midjourney and selecting the image because, well, it's fun. I'm curating. You're welcome.

"Show HN" is for something people can try, give feedback, and discuss with the creator. It is not for just sharing content.

OP here. It's not about the content: it's weird art.

They are not saying that the post does not belong on the site, just that it shouldn't be a "show HN". It has a similar vibe to a lot of static content that is linked here.
