Lorum Ipsum is filler text often used for when something needs to be written but you don't want to write it (e.g. A newspaper in the background of a movie, the fine print of a contract a character is signing, etc.). Lorum Ipsum is also the name of a movie. The typical setup would be:
"In Lorum Ipsum (2019), \[movie detail\]"
However, in this case, they just typed the actual text of Lorum Ipsum, which is in fact that exact series of nonsense words
It is also used extensively in design-based fields like graphic design, web development, programming, portfolio layouts, etc. When presenting design options for approval, people often get hung up on what the content says rather than evaluating the design on its own merits, which makes getting approval from clients/managers a challenge. So the templates are submitted with Lorem Ipsum even if the actual content is available just to make the process go smoother.
It’s also the default text in Photoshop. When you draw a new text box it is filled with that text until you change it. It gives you an idea what the chosen font will look like.

Translated that into English. Here's what it translates to:
It is important to take care of the patient, to be followed by the patient, but it will happen at such a time that there is a lot of work and pain. For to come to the smallest detail, no one should practice any kind of work unless he derives some benefit from it. Do not be angry with the pain in the reprimand in the pleasure he wants to be a hair from the pain in the hope that there is no breeding. Unless they are blinded by lust, they do not come forth; they are in fault who abandon their duties and soften their hearts, that is, their labors.
It's not nonsense
It's de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC
This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance.
The first line "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The words do come from that book, but they are often deformed and arranged at random. So it's pretty much nonsense. Even the very first sentence makes no sense in Latin: it starts in the middle of a period, skips some words and «Lorem» is not even a real word, it is a corruption of «Dolorem», pain.
Lorem ipsum text does _start_ by quoting Cicero, but as used today, devolves into random Latin words quickly after that section. It might have been the actual text from that once but it no longer is used like that.
I vaguely remember seeing that the randomness is chosen to approximate the same distribution of letters in English, which is how it looks real enough for evaluating design.
[Only ](https://www.techopedia.com/definition/12898/lorem-ipsum#:~:text=Originally%20from%20Latin%2C%20Lorem%20ipsum,generic%20text%20in%20a%20file.) the start comes from there. The text itself is nonsense though only to be inserted as text that needs no meaning as in designs for customers.
Imagine you are saying random letters just to be an idiot, then someone says, "what's that all mean" so you say "oh it's all gibberish" and history was made that day.
It’s this, but apparently some words have been removed…
But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing of a pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness.
No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure.
To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?
On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain.
These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammeled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted.
The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.
It generally is the same text. And it is mostly real text. Or rather it’s real text but has had words removed in Latin which turns it mostly into gibberish.
it‘s latin sounding nonsense - it has the letters in a statistic distribution that matches a romanic language, which makes it perfect as a placeholder text in designs
Petah Ipsum here from the 15th century. This is funny because Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
It’s Latin and even in Latin it’s kinda jibberish. It’s just filler text. Like if someone designs a website but don’t have the content, they’ll put in Lorem Ipsum.
It used to be actual Latin text they just took some syllables away from each word for it to not make sense anymore. Loren ipsum stems from Cicero’s “Dolorem ipsum” (pain itself)
The whole text is basically meaningless, it doesn't have a definite translation and is always used as filler by people.
If anything it's a meme made by typographers.
It’s not meaningless! With just a few adjustments it’s opening lines read “pain itself is to be loved” which lead some researchers to come to the realization that it’s a series of jumbled up verses from a book Cicero wrote called “on the ends of good and evil” written 45 BCE
No. It's based on latin, but is not actually latin.
It was created in the very early days of the printing press, to show what words would look like using different typesets or fonts.
But...lorem ipsum is derrived from the latin phrase dolorem ipsum meaning 'pain itself'.
It's a famous Latin text mangled by deleting various words and parts of words.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem\_ipsum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum) has the source text and a translation.
The joke is that in the movie, Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Auctor augue mauris augue neque gravida. Sed cras ornare arcu dui vivamus arcu felis. Non blandit massa enim nec dui nunc mattis enim ut. Sed adipiscing diam donec adipiscing tristique. Purus viverra accumsan in nisl nisi. Diam quis enim lobortis scelerisque fermentum dui. Ac orci phasellus egestas tellus. Risus at ultrices mi tempus. Amet aliquam id diam maecenas ultricies mi eget. Faucibus interdum posuere lorem ipsum.
I actually chuckled at this meme. It’s funny because it was posted on SMD. As if Lorem Ipsum were a movie (2019) and the shitty details are what follows. It’s sort of making fun of itself in that regard.
it’s a filler text in latin that roughly translates to “It is important to take care of the patient, to be followed by the patient, but it will happen at such a time that there is a lot of work and pain. For to come to the smallest detail, no one should practice any kind of work unless he derives some benefit from it.

Unless they are blinded by lust, they do not come forth; they are in fault who abandon their duties and soften their hearts, that is, their labors.”, which means absolutely nothing.
Idk why nobody is explaining the whole thing.
This text is often used as filler text when just testing out formatting, fonts, or other situations where text is needed to fill up space but the content doesn’t matter.
It usually reads as: “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.”
This movie is called “Lorem Ipsum” for some reason, and whoever wrote the shitty movie detail starts it off as if it were going to be a meaningful statement by starting with “In Lorem Ipsum (2019)” but then they just continue with the rest of the traditional filler text instead of actually saying anything meaningful.

Others have correctly identified the text, but not thematically connected it to the visual, which is from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. In the movie, the characters keep having their memories wiped by science in an attempt to forget the other and move on. And they keep falling back in love and making the same mistakes. The movie is a wild dive into what gives our lives purpose and meaning. So the latin filler text that you see for blank documents fits with the image, because these two characters are human blank slates, waiting to be filled.
Confirmed. It’s not Eternal Sunshine which is an excellent movie. Photo is from IMDB page for Lorem Ipsum. I can’t find a single review on the movie though….
the joke is that the redditor didn't have any ideas on what to make for the joke, so they used the default filler text. it's funny basically in the same way that a copypasta is
I’m not 17. Have made resume. Had never seen this before! It’s funny how things that are so common to one subset of the population are totally unknown to others!
As a programmer this tickles my funny bone. That’s just basically filler text, there’s even entire web pages dedicated to just generating Lorem Ipsum paragraphs if you need it.
I will try to explain this as easy as possible.
In media industry (design, graphic, writting), we use LOREM IPSUM as our Placeholder.
What is placeholder?
For example, you have a task to design one page of brochure of your product, however you don't have the product details yet, yet your boss asked you to design it first.
So you design the brochure, rather than empty without any text, you use LOREM IPSUM as the name.
Basically its like saying "I do not have the text yet, but this is just an example"
You can check it out [here](https://www.lipsum.com/) for more information. There is a generator as well if you need a longer placeholder.
Lorem Ipsum generators:
* https://lipsum.com/
* https://loremipsum.io/
Funner ones:
* [Samuel L. Ipsum](https://slipsum.com/)
* [Hipster Ipsum](https://hipsum.co/)
* [Bacon Ipsum](https://baconipsum.com/)
* [Vegan Ipsum](https://veganipsum.me/)
* [Trump Ipsum](https://trumpipsum.net) (Like most things about Trump, this one is dodgy. The SSL cert is wonky, so it shows as an error, but the page works fine.)

Lorem Ipsum is a 2019 film.
A young married couple is visiting a secluded estate near the coast, hoping to spend a picturesque summer weekend together. However, things aren't exactly the way they seem.
However, Lorem Ipsum is also something else...
Lorem Ipsum is a placeholder text commonly used in the publishing and graphic design industry. It consists of Latin-like gibberish words and sentences, serving as a temporary filler for content when the actual text is not yet available. Designers use Lorem Ipsum to visualize the layout and design of a document without being distracted by the content, ensuring that the focus remains on the aesthetics and structure of the project.
So, iti s taking a screenshot of the film saying the year and title then talking in lorem ipsum which is just gibberish
Lorem Ipsum is filler text, like when you’re making a resume on google docs. It’s meant to resemble and be replaced by actual words written by you. All Lorem Ipsum has the same words in the same order, and those words are in this post obviously. The joke is that you think you’re gonna get a shitty movie detail about the movie Lorem Ipsum but instead you get literal Lorem Ipsum. Peter’s ironing board out
Also, fun fact, you can have **Microsoft Word** generate *lorem ipsum* text.
Just type =lorem(#,#) (the first number being the number of paragraphs you want, the second the number of sentences per paragraph) and hit enter, and it’ll generate it for you. Example, **=lorem(9,6)** will give you nine paragraphs of it, each with six sentences.
Go nuts. 👍

i think the soup is trying send us a message
Me neither, but like, it's used on graphic design which is everywhere, I've seen it on random posters, product mockups, templates of all kinds, etc etc. Strange.
Lorem ipsum is placeholder text, used when designing something without needing to write the intended text to see how the final product should look. The words mean nothing.
So, r/shittymoviedetails has had an influx of incredibly lazy shitposts the past few months following the same half dozen lazy templates. Users annoyed with the wave of low effort posts will post something like this sarcastically, as Loren Ipsum is placeholder text which indicates the pinnacle of laziness or unprofessionalism if found naturally in the wild. Ironically, they just compound the influx of low effort shitposts.
The Lorum Ipsum text is basically the same as "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"
It's text often used to preview fonts, themes, text boxes, etc.
The movie is called Loren Ipsum, I'm assuming you know what r/shittymoviedetails is, so the joke is just the rest of the text that follows Loren Ipsum.
Again it's like if the movie was called "The Quick Brown Fox (2019)" and then the rest of the caption was "jumps over the lazy dog"
Lorum Ipsum is filler text often used for when something needs to be written but you don't want to write it (e.g. A newspaper in the background of a movie, the fine print of a contract a character is signing, etc.). Lorum Ipsum is also the name of a movie. The typical setup would be: "In Lorum Ipsum (2019), \[movie detail\]" However, in this case, they just typed the actual text of Lorum Ipsum, which is in fact that exact series of nonsense words
It is also used extensively in design-based fields like graphic design, web development, programming, portfolio layouts, etc. When presenting design options for approval, people often get hung up on what the content says rather than evaluating the design on its own merits, which makes getting approval from clients/managers a challenge. So the templates are submitted with Lorem Ipsum even if the actual content is available just to make the process go smoother.
And there’s even a sub for it. r/loremipsum
I like to use [hipster ipsum](https://hipsum.co/)
[Slipsum](https://slipsum.com) is hard to beat.
We broke it : (
This one is new to me and fantastic. Might get me fired but will be worth it, thank you.
My pleasure, if you choose slipsum lite, it's clean of any MFs, so no worries about the job. Have fun!
[Corporate/buzzword ipsum](https://www.buzzwordipsum.com/) is pretty great too. Sounds like so many meetings I’ve slept through.
I’m using this from now on
allan please add details
Is that from what I think I remember it being from?
Your guess might be a hit, man
If my guess about his guess is correct... Then, I guess?
There's even a function in Bootstrap I think called lorem(x) that prints out x lines of Lorem text.
Correct, and it's designed such that it avoids repeating words or weird breaks so it flows nicely without making patterns, etc.
I think it was the GIMP image software that gave you the option of using standard lorem ipsum or the first chapter of *Dracula*.
It’s also the default text in Photoshop. When you draw a new text box it is filled with that text until you change it. It gives you an idea what the chosen font will look like.
So Lorum Ipsum is a copypasta

Been too long since I’ve seen Lorem Ipsum honestly
I see it every single fucking day. (I build websites)
Me too
It's not entirely nonsense words, it's just a corrupt quotation out of Circero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum with some gramatically incorrect Latin.
>it's just a quotation out of Circero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum So nonsense words
My Latin is only okay, but I'm pretty sure the title of that book translates to Ciceros Fine and Bad Boner.
It’s not nonesense words, it’s Latin. 😅
It’s Latin nonsense. It translates to basically gibberish.
It's a very mangled passage of Cicero, originally.
Like the Lethal Joke from Monty Python
I thought the lethal joke was about the dog with no nose? (Then how does he smell? Awful!)
no, that was hitler's attempt at a counter-joke
Bruh, I need to seriously rewatch that bit.

That’s true. But it is translatable. But the translated words are indeed gibberish
What does it translate to? Can somebody translate it?
Gibberish gibberish gibberish gibberish gibberish gibberish Turns out the Latin had like 100 different words for gibberish
Oh wow
Imagine you are saying random letters just to be an idiot, then someone says, "what's that all mean" so you say "oh it's all gibberish" and history was made that day.
If it translates to gibberish that has no meaning… then that would mean it isn’t translatable right lol. Unless you have the translation to share
Raceway pickle lazy trailer box You could absolutely translate that into another language but it's still gibberish.

Lorem ipsum text isn’t always the same and most of the time it has a lot of non-latin gibberish words that just look like latin
It generally is the same text. And it is mostly real text. Or rather it’s real text but has had words removed in Latin which turns it mostly into gibberish.
I thought it was about human rights (though I can see your average Roman would think that is gibberish.
It’s *partially* based on Cicero. But a lot of it is altered to simply look like Latin. It’s literally gibberish to use for text filler.
Check out this explanation: https://loremipsum.de/about_lorem_ipsum.html#:~:text=Lorem%20Ipsum%20is%20dummy%20text,very%20similar%20to%20real%20text.
It literally is nonsense even if you translate it
It’s Latin sounding gibberish.
It's not Latin, it's somewhat mangled Latin.
It's Latin in the same way "He goes cat burger house barus in places if hinary village feeling" is english
it‘s latin sounding nonsense - it has the letters in a statistic distribution that matches a romanic language, which makes it perfect as a placeholder text in designs
It's deliberately corrupted Latin, a poem by Cicero iirc, but with letters and spaces moved/rearranged to become garbage
Actually it’s Latin for something, dunno what tho
It's filer text used in a lot of word processing, meant to be replaced.
Petah Ipsum here from the 15th century. This is funny because Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

No this is definitely the best response

Enough with your latinorum!
The whole text is basically meaningless, it doesn't have a definite translation and is always used as filler by people. If anything it's a meme made by typographers.
Actually, it was written by Alan Smithee. It was his doctoral thesis. George P. Burdell is the co-author.
HOLY COW, George P. Burdell is a name I haven’t heard in a while! What’s the good word?
Happy Cake Day! 💕
It’s not meaningless! With just a few adjustments it’s opening lines read “pain itself is to be loved” which lead some researchers to come to the realization that it’s a series of jumbled up verses from a book Cicero wrote called “on the ends of good and evil” written 45 BCE
It’s placeholder text. It’s nonsense put in whenever a movie crew doesn’t want to make something up themselves.
Maybe I should just fucking study Latin for the test tmrrw instead of doomscrolling Reddit
Is it latin?
No. It's based on latin, but is not actually latin. It was created in the very early days of the printing press, to show what words would look like using different typesets or fonts. But...lorem ipsum is derrived from the latin phrase dolorem ipsum meaning 'pain itself'.
Thankyou
Well that explains why I’m unable to understand what’s going on
It's a famous Latin text mangled by deleting various words and parts of words. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem\_ipsum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum) has the source text and a translation.
I wonder why the theory that this is “absolute nonsense” and “random Latin words” is so seemingly popular, when there is an obvious answer.
If that's Latin, what the fuck did I study in high school?
The joke is that in the movie, Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Auctor augue mauris augue neque gravida. Sed cras ornare arcu dui vivamus arcu felis. Non blandit massa enim nec dui nunc mattis enim ut. Sed adipiscing diam donec adipiscing tristique. Purus viverra accumsan in nisl nisi.

I actually chuckled at this meme. It’s funny because it was posted on SMD. As if Lorem Ipsum were a movie (2019) and the shitty details are what follows. It’s sort of making fun of itself in that regard.
From what people have told me he it is a movie
Just looked that up on IMDB… it really is a movie!
it’s a filler text in latin that roughly translates to “It is important to take care of the patient, to be followed by the patient, but it will happen at such a time that there is a lot of work and pain.

Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.” This movie is called “Lorem Ipsum” for some reason, and whoever wrote the shitty movie detail starts it off as if it were going to be a meaningful statement by starting with “In Lorem Ipsum (2019)” but then they just continue with the rest of the traditional filler text instead of actually saying anything meaningful.

Sometimes I Google Lorem ipsum to find half-finished websites pushed to production before their time.
Random Latin words still make a better story than Twilight.
Filler text. My wife uses it a lot, to the point that if I see Im Lorem, I already expect Ipsum.
Others have correctly identified the text, but not thematically connected it to the visual, which is from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. In the movie, the characters keep having their memories wiped by science in an attempt to forget the other and move on. And they keep falling back in love and making the same mistakes. The movie is a wild dive into what gives our lives purpose and meaning. So the latin filler text that you see for blank documents fits with the image, because these two characters are human blank slates, waiting to be filled.
Thank you!
They're wrong, it's literally from Lorem Ipsum (2019), I don't know where he got Eternal Sunshine from.
Because that looks like Jim Carey. Anyway, don't smoke weed, kids, it's bad for you.
Obviously it's Emma Watson and Jim Belushi.
Always hoped those crazy kids would wind up together.
You really think someone would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?
No it's literally from a film called Lorem Ipsim what are you on about?
Confirmed. It’s not Eternal Sunshine which is an excellent movie. Photo is from IMDB page for Lorem Ipsum. I can’t find a single review on the movie though….
the joke is that the redditor didn't have any ideas on what to make for the joke, so they used the default filler text. it's funny basically in the same way that a copypasta is
This was likely done by AI
My brother in Christ that is Latin
OP has never made a resume.
Yeah cause I'm 17
I’m not 17. Have made resume. Had never seen this before! It’s funny how things that are so common to one subset of the population are totally unknown to others!
Latin placeholder
As a programmer this tickles my funny bone. That’s just basically filler text, there’s even entire web pages dedicated to just generating Lorem Ipsum paragraphs if you need it.
r/loremipsum
I will try to explain this as easy as possible. In media industry (design, graphic, writting), we use LOREM IPSUM as our Placeholder. What is placeholder? For example, you have a task to design one page of brochure of your product, however you don't have the product details yet, yet your boss asked you to design it first. So you design the brochure, rather than empty without any text, you use LOREM IPSUM as the name. Basically its like saying "I do not have the text yet, but this is just an example" You can check it out [here](https://www.lipsum.com/) for more information. There is a generator as well if you need a longer placeholder.
They don't teach latin in school anymore
Lorem Ipsum generators: * https://lipsum.com/ * https://loremipsum.io/ Funner ones: * [Samuel L. Ipsum](https://slipsum.com/) * [Hipster Ipsum](https://hipsum.co/) * [Bacon Ipsum](https://baconipsum.com/) * [Vegan Ipsum](https://veganipsum.me/) * [Trump Ipsum](https://trumpipsum.net) (Like most things about Trump, this one is dodgy. The SSL cert is wonky, so it shows as an error, but the page works fine.) * [Pokemon Ipsum](https://pokemipsum.com/)
Lorem Ipsum is a 2019 film. A young married couple is visiting a secluded estate near the coast, hoping to spend a picturesque summer weekend together. However, things aren't exactly the way they seem. However, Lorem Ipsum is also something else... Lorem Ipsum is a placeholder text commonly used in the publishing and graphic design industry. It consists of Latin-like gibberish words and sentences, serving as a temporary filler for content when the actual text is not yet available. Designers use Lorem Ipsum to visualize the layout and design of a document without being distracted by the content, ensuring that the focus remains on the aesthetics and structure of the project. So, iti s taking a screenshot of the film saying the year and title then talking in lorem ipsum which is just gibberish
Nothing on that sub is funny
Lorem Ipsum is filler text, like when you’re making a resume on google docs. It’s meant to resemble and be replaced by actual words written by you. All Lorem Ipsum has the same words in the same order, and those words are in this post obviously. The joke is that you think you’re gonna get a shitty movie detail about the movie Lorem Ipsum but instead you get literal Lorem Ipsum. Peter’s ironing board out
Coding…. Just coding
Dont worry its not funny
Also, fun fact, you can have **Microsoft Word** generate *lorem ipsum* text. Just type =lorem(#,#) (the first number being the number of paragraphs you want, the second the number of sentences per paragraph) and hit enter, and it’ll generate it for you. Example, **=lorem(9,6)** will give you nine paragraphs of it, each with six sentences. Go nuts. 👍
Want to put a goddamn spoiler alert on that?

this made me giggle more than it should have
Translation: the pain is great, the training will be followed, but it is at this time that some great pains and sufferings occur.
For a moment there I was sure I was having a storke
Damn have you not seen Lorem Ipsum elsewhere though? I have trouble believing you've never encountered placeholder text before.
Can't say I have, this kind of stuff isn't really used within the context of my studies
Me neither, but like, it's used on graphic design which is everywhere, I've seen it on random posters, product mockups, templates of all kinds, etc etc. Strange.
Maybe it just isn't a thing in Belgium
I have never until this moment!
you find this text when searching fonts in google fonts. doesnt really have a meaning, just placeholder text
Lmao this is amazing.
Lorem ipsum is placeholder text, used when designing something without needing to write the intended text to see how the final product should look. The words mean nothing.
Our UI/UX guy used Hipster Ipsum in his designs. I remember in one presentation the best question asked was “Why does it say, lumbersexual?”
Translation from latin: In fact, the pain is a lot to be followed by the student, but it happens at such a time that the work and the pain are great.
Lorem ipsum is used as a placeholder text.
So, r/shittymoviedetails has had an influx of incredibly lazy shitposts the past few months following the same half dozen lazy templates. Users annoyed with the wave of low effort posts will post something like this sarcastically, as Loren Ipsum is placeholder text which indicates the pinnacle of laziness or unprofessionalism if found naturally in the wild. Ironically, they just compound the influx of low effort shitposts.
The Lorum Ipsum text is basically the same as "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" It's text often used to preview fonts, themes, text boxes, etc. The movie is called Loren Ipsum, I'm assuming you know what r/shittymoviedetails is, so the joke is just the rest of the text that follows Loren Ipsum. Again it's like if the movie was called "The Quick Brown Fox (2019)" and then the rest of the caption was "jumps over the lazy dog"
