Wow, it's been years now since I typed "sl" at a terminal and got an ascii steam locomotive.

A friend of mine in college installed this on my laptop when I had my back turned. For a month or so, I wondered why anyone thought this feature was a good idea, and why no one I knew who used MacOS seemed to complain about it.
It was a helpful reminder to finally learn Ctrl-\ for SIGQUIT.
TIL!
it's a nice touch that sl includes a man page and command line flags
