What does "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh." mean?

Question

The text derives itself from a work from Cicero, 'De finibus bonorum et malorum' but it's chopped up with a lot of words either removed or added, and is meaningless in English. The phrase it came from, however, means "There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain" source: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/lorem-ipsum-case-wondering/

The lorem ipsum text is often used as a placeholder. It's only meant to appear like a body of words, but it doesn't actually mean anything.

So I can write whatever there?

Yes, that's just the default text. I assume you're using some sort of template.

I am. But are you sure I can write whatever there and it means nothing?

Yes, it's very famous text that's used solely for aesthetic purposes. You can put your actually relevant information there.
