More seriously, they seem to have better audio so they're meant for home audiophile headphone usage?
The sound of the open air headphones are a bit hard to describe with other words than 'open' :-P It's just a bit more like listening to speakers.

I'm not being funny here. I'm not being political. I'm not making normative claims here. I'm not saying whether this is great or awful or whatever. I'm not trying to score internet points. I'm telling everyone reading this, screwing around making threats to the President, regardless of who he is, is not something you should do lightly. If you want to do it, I won't stop you, but I'm a big believer in understanding what risks you are taking rather than being blindsided by them. There's plenty of people who have discovered the hard way that this was more risky than they realized and I'm trying to help treadump not be one of them, in the spirit of helpfulness, not internet points.

UPD: You guys are incredibly creative! 15000 products generated and counting. I'm laughing reading all this absurd stuff and crying at my upcoming bills haha
I hope something really fun for you comes out of the unexpected scale.
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 description for me and it was happy to do so.
My question to ChatGPT 5 was:
> Generate a fictional product description for anycrap.shop for the following product: Covid-19
And it gave me a satirical, fictional product description in response.
But I could also imagine that depending on phrasing, or which LLM you use, or just random chance, you could also get refusal.
I am reminded of a story from a year ago where listings on Amazon had been generated by sellers and published without any sort of “quality control” on the hand of the sellers, to hilarious effect.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38971012
Which now that I think about it also maybe was the kind of thing that may have inspired your site too :)
> COVID-19 is a strain-specific narrative rewriter engineered to transform real-world pandemic experiences into engaging works of fiction. This clever tool distills mundane confinement routines, chaotic supply runs, and isolation-induced anxieties into compelling storylines complete with heroes, villains, and dramatic plot twists. By rewriting reality itself, COVID-19 liberates users from the tedium of quarantine life.
Later attempts did not bear fruit.

I was gonna do this as a way for people to stop buying things they don’t need. They get the “buzz” of going through the process of buying something (checkout, credit card form etc) they get a confirmation email and everything.
Looks great! Congratulations

"You package has arrived at the Tannhauser Gate Processing Facility"
Hilarious project.
Edit: I did both Mouthwash Ramen and Time Machine to the Present. I’m now addicted to this, thanks.
They would list all kinds of lasers. When they got some offers for one of them, they'd sell it and schedule the delivery in 90 days. Then, they started the project from scratch. Crazy stuff and borderline legal :D
What do you mean that feature doesn't exist? Well, I sold it to the customer, they have to go live in two weeks and their workflow depends on this feature.
A week later. "OK, their install team says it can't technically do C yet, however there's an early 2026 preview scheduled which addresses most of C. The D feature isn't in the edition we have, our buyers are talking to their sales people and we may need to pay extra to unlock D. And you're correct that two other organisations in our industry confirm X is dogshit and you'd be better off without it but it can't be disabled. Still A does work, and we have filed bugs about the known defects with B so hopefully we can get those fixed"
Every time I buy a product as an ordinary consumer I marvel at how much worse my huge employer is at buying products than I am. I reckon if they were sent to the store to buy a whole roast chicken with a £20 note they'd come back with six expired chicken sandwiches and no change.
It's the size of the deal that matters. Most of the consumer goods you buy are sold on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. No individual sale is worth the vendor forming a "relationship" with that customer or promising bespoke features. B2B sales are often large deals that require months of negotiation and may be worth millions. Bullshitting in order to land the deal is incentivized on both sides, to the point where both only have a fuzzy idea of what exactly is being bought and sold.
But consumers get this experience as well when they make larger purchases. When I buy a car, maybe I fail to mention the unreported fender bender my trade-in was in, and maybe the salesman tries to charge me $1200 to etch "anti-theft tracking numbers" on the new car's windows, citing some dubious statistics about vehicle recovery rates.
Or as I like to do, buying random things on AliExpress and Temu knowing full well that some of the things will not meet the expectations you’d have from the product listings.
Sometimes I’m lucky and the stuff is good. Sometimes I’m a little unlucky and it’s worse quality than I’d like.
At least I quickly learned to read carefully what was said to realize that what’s depicted is not exactly what’s being sold. Some sellers do this misleading trick where they have some amazing photo up front but there are either multiple variations of it or the thing being sold is only some component for that thing. I still sometimes see product reviews from other buyers that were upset that they didn’t get what they thought they were buying and I don’t blame them because it can be pretty misleading at times, but if you read carefully and look at all the pictures and check what the “color” or similar option dropdown says etc you will usually spot it when they are selling something different than what it might look like at first. So I haven’t had that kind of misfortune for years now. But sometimes you still get products that are lower quality than you were hoping for, even when the product listing was pretty accurate. Some kinds of bad quality is just not possible to judge unless you see the product in person.
On the other hand, in our niche customers usually don't swap software providers often due to integration work needed.
When an opportunity arises, it's usually because the yearly license expires. So we got to either sell it now with a hard deadline in the near future, or wait 5+ years till next time they switch.
So that can lead to sales being a bit optimistic when making the pitch.
they shut up. it's done when it's done.
I've done this many, many times. Oh you promised it by the end of the week and didn't ask me? lol, that sounds like a YOU problem.
"Wow. Well, I sure hope you don't get fired over this. Good luck. We'll scope it out and let you know how much time we'll need."
"We'll see."
The big-screen TV in the modern glass conference room showed the final slide: “Questions?”.
"I.. I'd like to add that this feature we sold is not in the product and we can't just go around adding features that Sales makes up out of the blue just... just to close a deal. I mean, we gotta plan these things, there's a procedure, we should get product involved..."
Head of Sales, interrupting: "Can't we, Jeff?"
Jeff, the middle-manager, shuffled his feet: "Uh. Yeah. Right. I think we shouldn't. Hey! Haste makes waste, that's what they say, right?"
Head of Sales: "Can't we Barbara?"
Barbara, the boss: "I don't know. Let me call Pradeep"
(Barbara presses the "huddle" button in Slack on her big iPhone. A few rings and a bored voice replies)
"Yeah?"
"Sorry to jump on you like this, Pradeep. Would you mind coming to meeting room seven for a second?"
Less than a minute later Pradeep walks in, his thick glasses casting a green hue over his eyes, his arrogant demeanor preceded him like a shadow.
"Pradeep, did you read the feature request I messaged you?"
"Yes."
"How fast can you do it"
"Just merged it this morning."
We said yes, we'd get right on it. :-D
We were all too stunned to have any real feedback.
Now I wonder if they did this to batch up a manufacturing run once enough orders were received.

> as a joke generador it's broken due to leaky abstraction?
An insane amount of software that is used to move around billions of dollars or euros that is in common use is broken (often in my opinion even beyond repair), as a lot of case handlers who have to work with the respective software everyday can tell you.
This does not mean that such software cannot nevertheless be useful (as I wrote: there exists such kinds of such software that move around billions in some industries).

This is an important accessibility issue for people like me, with no internal monologue. We do not constantly render our thoughts and desires into words, and so are hobbled by an open search-box UX.
Another variant might be an auto-generating index of products we can dig through, or a faceted search which synthesizes new categories of products as we refine the features.

As much as the site is an incredible outlet for absurd creativity, some of the creations would actually work as small batch orders. The octopus hoodie is a great example, and I would not be surprised if there were people willing to get different variations of it. (Lovecraftian flavour, anyone?)
OP: well done, you have unleashed on this world a toy more addictive than a cocaine enema.
No offense to you meant, but I wonder in general where the need for this kind of hyperbolic phrasing comes from. As it seems to be everywhere on the internet.
In this case I thought it would fit with the already absurd tones exhibited in the thread. More generally, the technique is not "hyperbolic phrasing" as much as deploying a comedic angle. Comedians (especially oneliner and short-form comics) often seek ways to emphasise a visual image. The more vivid the mental imagery, that much more effective the double punch of the words and the internal visual hit.
The same technique is also occasionally used by some of the most effective tech talks; if you manage to combine a factually correct detail distillation with a punchline that invokes a strong and somewhat controversial mental image, that has a high likelyhood of being remembered.

I wonder how the great (better than "AI") human designers and copywriters and marketers will stand out, amidst all the good-enough-for-many-purposes, at scale, AI slop.
How will they even establish their career reputation and be noticed?
Or even get enough real-world experience to develop strong holistic creative+product skills, to become great?
(Will the job market become like software engineering IC jobs, in which it's mostly Leetcode fraternity pledging for the best-paying jobs, just to gatekeep, and then most other companies mimicking that? That might work for hiring large numbers of worker drones, but how can that find you top creatives?)
For example feed the photo back into the AI and have it come up with a BOM and assembly instructions.

Why travel the world, when I can travel all of reality-writ-large?!?
