This baby face generator app is the stuff of terrible, terrible nightmares

WTF

Picturing what your future offspring will look like sounds cute. But you may want to think twice before using a baby face generator app, because it'll probably convince you to never have children.

Tiffany Holloway and her boyfriend Darius Moore decided to test out the app Make A Baby Booth, described as a way for parents to peek into the future and see what their child may look like. It's pretty simple, as you might expect: You choose two photos—one of each prospective parent—and it mashes them together onto a baby's face.

The results are absolutely horrifying.

While the app is free for download, before it allows you to see the finished product it prompts you to make a purchase. Holloway tweeted saying it cost her 99 cents, but when I just tried to view my baby's photo, the app tried to charge me $1.99.

In addition, as others pointed out, the app has some serious flaws.

Holloway's tweet racked up over 10,000 retweets, prompting many to share their own horrifying results.

I tried out the app, using photos of me and my girlfriend. Basically, it takes one person's eyes and the second person's mouth and plasters them on a photo of a baby. Cheap and terrible, yes, but pretty hilarious—and hopefully nothing like your actual possible future baby.
