[InspiroBot](http://inspirobot.me/) is, as its home page puts it, “an artificial intelligence dedicated to generating unlimited amounts of unique inspirational quotes for endless enrichment of pointless human existence.” _Very_ unique inspirational quotes. Imagine someone takes all those generic-sunrise-photo “Believe in you!” posters and puts them in a blender with _Chicken Soup For the Soul_, then uses a robotic algorithm to put the pieces back together (“Make yesterday your rival!”).

There was an article about the Bot in this year’s _Bathroom Reader_, so I headed over to check it out for myself. I was not disappointed. My very first try generated “Bend over with your buttocks inwards as much as possible”, which I think we can all agree is a principle to live by.

Other timely words of wisdom:

“Change doesn’t exist.”

“If you are not enjoying a dangerous cult you might just be psychotic.”

“Only when you learn to face other people’s monsters, will you be face to face with a girlfriend.”

“Mainstream parents slave. Better parents annoy.”

“If you are not afraid of alliances you are underestimating what alliances actually means.”

“Have sex with millionaires.”

“You are capable of making it so that some guy gets confused.”  
Yes! I knew I could confuse someone if I tried hard enough.

“You can be the first man to listen to things that nobody has even thought to listen to.”  
Over a photo of a marijuana leaf.

“Prolonging light grows prolongingly.”  
For some reason I kind of like this one.
