Should you wonder: the IP address 127.0.0.1 redirects to your own device. Essentially you are saying to your device “when you’re instructed to go to ‘loginrubbishobey.com’, just go back to my device”. Using IP address 0.0.0.0 will have the same effect. You can add any number of unwanted sites to the list this way.
Yep, these are a click-bait generators, seemingly a fishing site. According to WhoIs it points to a Czechia located site.
You need to block “https://loginrubbishobey.com/” in your browser security settings to prevent the generator from going there. Or even better, block it in your PC “hosts” file (On Windows usually located in folder “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc”).
For that you will need to add this line in “hosts” file: 127.0.0.1 loginrubbishobey.com
The file is ‘read-only’ (by default anyway, this is to prevent inadvertent/illicit modifications) so it’s a bit of a hassle when you’re not familiar with OS and folder manipulation.
And make sure to prevent/block the site from creating cookies in your browser security.
That was the old SD engine. The currently used Flux engine does not produce any kind of celebs (yet anyway, with a few exceptions like Trump, Putin and Hillary Clinton, etc). Any resemblance to existing people is pure chance.
Well, ehm… Bye? Fare thee well?
Perchance only offers TEXT-to-image generation up to now. This automatically entails that any user created generator offering IMG-to-image utillizes external (to perchance) servers to create supposed images. But, why not post links to the generators you have been trying so we can check what might be going wrong? What image(s) you use as input and the prompts you enter.
From Perchance’s perspective you are doing nothing wrong, the generators you are using are apparently unable to live up to their promis or make clear to you what input they need to generate img-to-img…
Yeah, well, being opinionated does not equal being right. I suggest you visit this site for a bit of peace of mind. When in doubt this site, they don’t care about money at all. While at it, why not show off a few of your magnificent intellectually high-quality results of software development you surely must have readily available.
@RandomPerchanceUser@lemmy.world please, don’t even open that door an inch, as personally I could not give a rat’s ass for the intel.
Go Perchance!!

This is a bit hard to find in the Perchance Hub and by now it’s SD tips are a bit obsolete, but still enlightening. Search on the page for the ‘BREAK keyword’.
This reddit post might come in handy too: Let’s make some realistic humans: Now with SDXL [Tutorial] (again SD, but much is still relevant).
Hi!
I’m using either Chrome or Firefox on Windows PC, straightforward, no VPN/Sandbox, or any other tool (maybe stupid Windows notepad to save snippets). Both browsers ran into the same issue, however, in the version I just tested, the chat responses seem to work now. FYI, I’ve never heard of either Thorium or Brave browser. I use Chrome, Edge, Firefox and for very old stuff Palemoon, on occasion Vivaldi (which is Chromium). So, no Linux.
Regarding ‘what is $root?’, it is a global variable inside Perchance, just like $meta. As you can see, Perchance AI-text-plugin understood perfectly what I meant. This is what your AI helper has to say about it (and I have no better explanation myself):
Hello! In the context of Perchance.org,
$rootis a special variable that represents the root scope of your Perchance script. The root scope is the global context in which all of your code runs, and it’s where you define the core settings, functions, and data structures that are accessible throughout your script. Here’s a simple example of how you might use$rootto define a global variable:javascript // Define a global variable using $root $root.myGlobalVariable = "Hello, Perchance!"; // Now you can access this variable anywhere in your script console.log($root.myGlobalVariable); // Outputs: Hello, Perchance!When you create functions or objects that you want to be available globally, you can assign them to properties of$root. This way, you can avoid conflicts with other variables and ensure they are easily accessible from any part of your script.javascript // Define a global function $root.myGlobalFunction = function() { console.log("This is a global function!"); }; // Call the global function from anywhere in your script myGlobalFunction(); // Outputs: This is a global function!In Perchance,$rootis also used to define custom functions and settings that are available in the story editor’s interface. For example, you might define a function to manipulate story elements or set up a custom configuration for your story:javascript // Define a custom function that's available in the story editor $root.myCustomFunction = function(args) { // Your custom logic here }; // Use the custom function in the story editor { "type": "choice", "text": "What's your favorite color?", "choices": [ { "text": "Red", "value": "red" }, { "text": "Green", "value": "green" }, { "text": "Blue", "value": "blue" } ], "onChoose": [ { "name": "myCustomFunction", "args": ["green"] } ] }In this code snippet,myCustomFunctionis a custom function defined on$root. When the user makes a choice in the story editor, theonChooseevent triggers, and the specifiednamefunction is called with the providedargs. The custom function can then perform an action based on the choice made. Remember, while$rootis powerful, it’s important to use it judiciously to avoid cluttering the global namespace and potentially causing conflicts with other code. Keep your global declarations to a minimum and use them only when necessary.
However, the chat-reply shows the three back-ticks of the MD code, not a marked down snippet like here in Lemmy. What’s your intention with the markup of the code snippets? Show the code examples properly marked down or have the user copy the code and paste it to get a better view? It’s not clear to me, something like the below is not really workable, esp. on smartphones (which I personally don’t use to code):
A ‘regular Perchance user’ (none-programmer, that is) has no clue that they are about to use a ‘bare-bones’ generator when reading the below intro-message, heck as a developer I didn’t:
Maybe adjust that with a better explanation, not everyone will enter edit-mode to check out the code (initially I didn’t either, not until you suggested it in your comment).
Closing, I am not sure what this is about, the error occurs when the chat-reply finishes:
They are (seem to be) universal
It’s not an exact sciene, but it will help.
It’s beyond me for now, but maybe this helps: DIY Perchance API. The link is at 2/3rd of the Perchance welcome page.
When it does work, let me know as I am in the process of getting myself new hardware esp. for LLM and the works. Any info on what and why will be highly appreciated.
Hi! Seems promising, however…
I went to your site (PC Firefox, Windows, 1920x1200, not logged in, advert bar at the bottom. PC Chrome logged in, no advert bar) and entered ‘what is $root?’ in the chat-input.
It starts to come up with an explanation, but when the output field fills the chat-messages, it removes the explanation and displays ‘Sorry, I encountered an error. Please try again.’, seemingly when finalizing the explanation. I tried it 3 times with 3 times the same result in both browsers.
Furthermore:
Love the idea, so don’t get discouraged, as I think something like this will be a great help!!
Perchance does not support image2image generations, text2image support only.
The keyword BREAK, parenthesis () colon : semi-colon ; and dot . go a long way. While parenthesis are used for emphasis and weight, you can also use them to bundle parts of prompts. Colon to start a list, semi-colon to terminate. Won’t always work as expected, but who doesn’t like to fiddle.
Use BREAK to signal a new ‘layer’ in your image, essentially defining a new image within the image.
E.g. using art style ‘casual photo’ or ‘professional photo’ with prompt professional portrait of a female in a colorful dress BREAK a psychedelic black and white background will yield exactly that.
Below prompt, with ‘professional photo’ worked for me, consistently (okay, fairly), also with more than 1 image in one run:
professional full body photo of three slender lithe females BREAK one girl is a Caucasian redhead, casual wear BREAK one girl is African in a red dress, barefoot BREAK one girl is Japanse with white hair and big boots BREAK a psychedelic black and white background
The same run, 3 images:
As you can see, you will still need to be very specific between BREAKs to prevent spilling, but I think you will get the gist…
Language! If you want a mature reply, act accordingly.
The easiest way to get a contorted, twisted body is to define a woman’s chest and genitals in the prompt combined with a ‘backside view’. As humans we instantly understand the front side of the woman will probably not be visible, AI not as much and tries to show both front and backside.
(All tests with 6 images and ‘no style’)
Try this one, just for fun: A {|candid|professional} photo of an ugly {woman|female|girl}
Options ‘blank’ or ‘candid’ will mostly yield wrinkly females in their late 40s/50s regardless of the type, while ‘professional’ mostly yields (freckled) plastic fantastic with age depending on type. AI definitely thinks ugly females are old and wrinkly. With ‘Professional’ the AI just cannot believe ugly old people want a picture of themselves and smoothens their faces and keeps them relatively young.
Another one: A photo of an old girl <= notice the missing period at the end
Who said I wanted an old 1920s photo capturing a young female with a weathered face? Now add a period ‘.’ at the end of the prompt. A completely different age category.
When I casually mention ‘whow, that old girl still has a nice rack’, we all know what I mean. Why can’t AI?
Okay, let’s go for that: A photo of an old girl with a nice rack. Oh my, that was unexpected… (most certainly NSFW at any age, definitely, regardless of a ‘.’ at the end).
A photo of an old girl with a nice rack and a supermodel body. NSFW again, some improvements, but where did I mention ‘nekkid’? Granted, I did say ‘body’…
A photo of an old girl with a nice rack and a supermodel body wearing a dress. Totally different attitute (and thanks to the heavens for the dress). With or without ‘.’ makes quite a difference. Without seems to yield better quality.
Closing, let’s add ‘professional’ again: A professional photo of an old girl with a nice rack and a supermodel body wearing a dress. Ahh, here’s my goodlooking granny… Wrinkled, true, but will still turn heads (one way or another anyway). Here too without ‘.’ seems to yield (somewhat) better quality, more close up portrait style.
Lesson: know what you want and be specific.
But, dang, who said she had to be in her late 70s? When I’m 6yo, 25 is old already…
Depending on the age of a person you require, some obvious choices:
Yah, the perks of the English language disambiguity will require you to be quite specific in your prompts. Using a dash (-) between words worked for SD, but Flux can be quite quirky (using the ‘-’ as a negatory?).
Additionally, the t2i-framework-plugin-v2 [brain] button (, which uses the ai-text-plugin) does wonders for none-native English people like me.
FYI: use ‘guy’ for male versions as ‘man’ usually yields a hairy body builder with a ‘wishful-thinking’ reproductive organ.
I picked a random text2image generator from the generator list
Art Style: No Style No Negative, Guidance Scale 7
With the prompts you really need to be aware that an x year old woman can yield quite older looking females than an x year young woman. The same can be said of woman vs. girl vs. female. Depending on the run the differences can be quite distinct.
And A professional casual photo… vs. A casual photo… will definitely yield different results. The same goes for professional casual and casual professional.
…old woman
Prompt: A casual photo of a genuine {23|24|25|26|27}-year old woman, she has an {aquiline|up-turned|celestial|button} nose, and is of {German|Dutch|Belgian|French|Welsh} ancestry.
…young woman
Prompt: A casual photo of a genuine {23|24|25|26|27}-year young woman, she has an {aquiline|up-turned|celestial|button} nose, and is of {German|Dutch|Belgian|French|Welsh} ancestry.
…young female
Prompt: A casual photo of a genuine {23|24|25|26|27}-year young female, she has an {aquiline|up-turned|celestial|button} nose, and is of {German|Dutch|Belgian|French|Welsh} ancestry.
Yah, me too, and it will probably rid the ‘recently added/updated generators’ list from a lot of straightforward ‘I wonder what the [save] button does’ copies.
Maybe post a picture with the style you’re looking for? Someone might recognize it…
I, for one, have no idea what the humanoid face effect looks like.
You should post the prompt/negative and settings you are using and a link to the specific generator. There are way too many Perchance generators to be able to tell what might be off.
Prompt “a person wading waist-deep in the river” did it for me. No-Style, no negative.
