Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator
⚄︎ Perchance
This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.
Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)
This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

- Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.
5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.
- We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (
text-to-image-pluginandai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?" - See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
- You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
- We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.
6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

Also fun fact, lists on Perchance are actually made of custom objects, and so every single type of JavaScript objects is treated by the Perchance engine as "lists". And since arrays are of objects, evaluating them directly will output a random item from the array, as if they're lists, if you don't know yet.
In addition,
[ ({}) ]and[ [{}] ]gives the same result ase = [ x = {} ].Ah yes, I've seen perchance is everywhere... which is cool sometimes, unless you don't want it to be perchancing and then it's a bloomin' nightmare. 🤣 And if you know JS as I do, and come in here thinking you can do easy things... you're probably going to bash your head against a brick wall from time to time until you can hack your way around it!
I could see why
[({})]returns the same value as[x={}]. Shouldn't[[{}]]return an array though? Or do you just mean in terms of it perchancing it so it gives you one of the array items at random and there's only one array item so it (eventually evaluates to) the same thing?
