The Random Surrealism Generator is a web-based tool that produces randomly generated surrealist statements or images. Designed for users interested in surreal or whimsical content, it displays a new surrealism each time the page is reloaded, offering a variety of outputs that range in quality and amusement.
The generator can be embedded into other webpages by adding a provided HTML iframe or image code. Several configuration options are available, including text-only output for faster loading, surreal error messages tailored for programmers, and surreal Shakespearian quotes. Users can also adjust the color scheme to match their own webpages or supply custom images as the speaker. There is a JavaScript utility available to help generate the appropriate embedding code for a desired setup.
The service is free to use and does not require permission to embed on personal webpages. Credit for the generator is shared between Kevan, who contributed words, sentence structures, and code hierarchy, and the tool's creator, who handled Perl scripting, HTML, and data formatting.
Surreal sits in PulseGate's Other creative category. It focuses on providing creative inspiration through randomly generated surrealist content. Surreal is a consumer product aimed at writers, artists, and creative individuals. Surreal costs nothing to use. It runs on the web and embeddable surfaces.
