I'm personally partial to PlaceKitten[1] though around halloween I will sometimes switch it up with PlaceZombie[2]

This one looks nice in that you wouldn't be embarrassed if it goes live since the images are generally nice looking but part of the appear of YAPHS (Yet Another Placeholder Service) is that it is really obviously a placeholder so you catch it before it goes live.

Let's not forget http://placecorgi.com/

I wear corgi t-shirts, carry a little felt corgi keyring charm, have unicorgi stickers on laptop and tech bag both, my lunch bag is printed with corgis... there's a pattern here.

... do you have a corgi?

No. I live in a pet free building and also travel too much for the poor thing to be left alone.

I didn't mention five corgi plushies: one memory foam pillow and four Unicorgis. One pair of the Unicorgis are set to fly -- they had wings and the previous owner left hooks in the ceiling so it was pretty self evident what I needed to do...

Before you speak, ask yourself: Is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve the silence?

placekitten inadvertently led to one of my favourite commit messages: "Increase kitten resolution" :)
