Found this when trying to automate notifications for when books I listen to are published on their website.

you should curl horwood.biz if you like ascii are

Nice! I like how the ascii art is different each time and that using curl gives something different than the browser.

Why isn't it a cat?

Because it says THIS IS QUACK'DIBLE

I'm looking to make an ASCII art server that I can route curl requests to for other sites I run

So I can make requests to your site and get ascii art back? That would be neet, please state rate limit when you do so that I don't spam you (if I ever would reach those levels of requests).

no rate limit at the mo, as the site doesnt get hit a lot

Maybe cause it was easier to make an asci duck but "meow'dible" sounds more like "audible" than "quack'dible" does?

I looked through The Wayback Machine and 2025-02-19 03:55:37 was the first earliest occurrence I could find.

Saving this comment so that I can find my way back here when I have more time.
