  Robo Rosewater has given me some of the best laughs. For some reason "computer gets thing slightly (or wildly) wrong" is the pinnacle of comedy to my brain.

  There’s a Coronus Goblin there, posted Dec 18 2018. Maybe the Corona virus did not start with bat soup in China after all :O

    There's also apparently a beer by the same name, from 1925.

      It is known :p But Goblins, Wikipedia says, “are almost always small and grotesque, mischievous or outright malicious”. Thus support is found for a connection between Coronus Goblin and COVID-19.

        Have you ever seen people after lots of beer? :P

  It appears that generator picks from only 3 images: a mainframe, an early analogue computer, and one with a 50s/60s computer and two people. More variety would add to the humour (for example, using Google Images on the name, and then picking a random result from it.)

      That would've been better stated up-front --- as amusing as the text is, I would not have gone back through 5 years of the same 3 images to find that explanation.
