I was going to facetiously post a few paragraphs of Lorem Ipsum #today but then went down the rabbit hole of learning its #history. Oh boy.
It's quite fascinating that it's not just #typography #placeholder #text. It actually comes from an #ancient #Latin #text dating back to 45 BC by the #Roman #statesman and #philosopher #Cicero. The title of the text was "De finibus bonorum et malorum" and it was about #ethics and #pleasure. It was mistranslated years later and used as #dummy text since around the 1500s.
