Can it figure this one out without any hints? Not base64. Use case [1]

So, it got the base32 part right, but the decoding wrong. I would have been extremely surprised if it got the decoding right, though.

That's still kinda cool. Now I'm curious if it can decode all the figlet fonts too. Size can be controlled with HTML as some are easier to read visually by a human if smaller

[Edit] - This might makes ones eyes bleed but I am curious if it can read this [1]. If installing figlet type showfigfonts to see examples of all the installed fonts. More can be installed [2] in /usr/share/figlet/fonts/
