Understanding Types and Categories
Our random thing generator sorts things in two ways. Types tell you what kind of thing it is. Some are abstract ideas, like love or freedom. Others are real objects, like mountains or books. Categories group things by topic. These include emotions, nature, technology, and more. Use both filters to pick the kind of thing you want. You still get a fun surprise each time.
