"I stand with the people of China and that they need to hire researchers to design some new architecture, or anything extremely fancy."

I just got the same one... Are they pre-generated maybe?

They generate on a cron job every 15 minutes and I also pass the site through a Cloudflare cache because I'm cheap and the actual code runs on a $5 DigitalOcean box :-)

Pre-generated is fine but could you change the text on the button that says “generate” to something else then?
