I think I found an easter egg in neovim just by chance, I typed ":smile" as a command and it gave me an ASCII art as the output.
Video below shows the output, I had to record the output because if I took only a screenshot more then half of the output would had been cut off. I know a screen cast is a bit too much just to show an ASCII art, but this is the only way that I can show the whole output.
Mistodon: before he mastered #ASCIIart, another niche field in which @littlebitspace had steeped was the world of #tea infusion and service. This piece from his back catalogue represents an overlap of both worlds, yet despite its relative vintage (only four years old!) it is still relatively fresh relatively to the materials from the '90s which it was served up alongside in the time capsule of the new IMBIBE01 electronic magazine about food and drink.
Mistodon: Wendy's may be the only fast food chain to print #ASCIIart burgers on their receipts, but if you could eat one at #BurgerKing truly you could #HaveItYourWay. Until then, this newschool logo by @Codefenix will have to suffice. (As seen in the new IMBIBE01 electronic magazine!)

Given the issue of pre-formatting ASCII art which I intended to use on my site's navbar, I searched for "font emulating ASCII art" and stumbled upon this great article written by @adelfaure for @velvetyne , titled "About ASCII art and Jgs font":
https://velvetyne.fr/news/about-ascii-art-and-jgs-font/
Both the article content I quickly glanced at, and the look and feel of Velvetyne's site, made me abandon my search and detour immediately into reading the whole article. And I loved it!
I've been a long time fan of what I now learned may be more precisely referred to as "Textmode Art" -- ever since my childhood encounters with various bulletin board software which would always be tagged by amazing ASCII and ANSI art and positively bangin' electronic beats!
Not only does the article have an engaging overview of the history of textmode art and what it is, but it also links to some prolific communities like Sixteen Colors ( https://16colo.rs/ ) -- whereupon I found this amazing ANSI art piece attached featured.

I drew @BrodieOnLinux as ASCII art, because his Linux youtube channels are sweet.
This is the mock up for the #smolweb and regular web presentation of the little world and story line thingy I am tinkerin with.
