This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Do you want to open source the stories or the machine?

The concept is good but technically it seems dead easy: three buttons, a raspberry pi or similar and a thermal printer connect via usb.

Does sound like a fun little project. Probably a DB or two online with an API to fiddle with.

I just want instructions to follow. I can maybe for the hardware but finding the stories is another thing.

I see their site has links to all the stories but I'm not sure how to call one at random and format out only the story.
