I just wish that waves didn't look so small in those surfboard mounts, maybe I just need to find a better angle

@Fabby got the same spam in 2 other a's just now in review. marked by the system/

ok back tomorrow

9:17 PM

@Zanna simply cowsay :)

It has some nice built-in "cows".

However, "sodomized-sheep" is something I do not count to those...

lol

$ cowsay -f sodomized-sheep "Yikes!"

@OwenHines no joke.

edwinksl

lol

huh

Well that's some pretty unrecognizable sheep ASCII art

Try this command to see all available cows:

for f in /usr/share/cowsay/cows/*.cow ; do b="$(basename -s.cow "$f")" ; cowsay -f "$b" "$b" ; done

For example, this cow is in the process to convert into a hamburger...

9:24 PM

The feeling when your first and only question is neglected and therefore sent into the infinite abyss of unasnwered questions on AU. FeelsBadMan

...but at least I get a Tumbleweed badge?

@ByteCommander As I don't have access to the glorious cowsay command atm, can you please enlighten us with some more ancient egyptian hyroglyphs of cows

Zanna

@ByteCommander o.0

@OwenHines something ancient, huh? Here you go:

There's another one. And this same one roasting a cow.

And of course the stegosaurus with its handsome hat.

boo cowsay doesn't work with zalgo :P

just got cowsay

how do i play with my new toy

9:44 PM

@OwenHines man cowsay explains

alright, im gonna go have some fun with that

when I type cowsay with no arguments it just hangs :(

yeah you are supposed to provide arguments

read the manpage

or use this:

echo "String To CowSay" | cowsay

@OwenHines it does not hang, it waits for input. Type something and submit it with CTRL+D.

oh.

29 mins ago, by Byte Commander

for f in /usr/share/cowsay/cows/*.cow ; do b="$(basename -s.cow "$f")" ; cowsay -f "$b" "$b" ; done

9:50 PM

% cowsay
We Are Legion. [Enter, then Crtl+D]

^ prints all cows as example with their name.

@ThomasWard I don't think the Enter would be needed there?

no such job

:/

@ByteCommander didn't accept until the \n was there, then ctrl+d accepted.

Ah, I see.

You must either press CTRL+D once on a blank line, or press it twice on a used line.
