You know that Matrix effect, right? Which is all a hacker thing with a bunch of green letters and codes running across your screen. So, now imagine it in your terminal! If you imagined it, you can consider yourself as the new chosen one, like Neo!

Peeweee! Locomotive arriving! 🚂
Nothing to do? What about see a steam locomotive visiting through your terminal? This thing make my day! And that's it, a locomotive, haha
Just type sl (different from ls, ok?) to see the locomotive in action.

The cow said 🐮
Such as Deadpool, I believe cows will one day rule the earth. Meanwhile, how about making a cow say whatever you wants? (yes, a cow talking xD)
Go to the terminal and type cowsay "phrase" to make the cow say something instead 'moo'.
If you do not like cows like Deadpool, you can choose Moofasa to say something! Not only him, but also other ASCII arts! Replace the moofasa for something else, like cheese or ghostbusters.
Package name: cowsay
A sea with fish 🐟
A sea with marine animals are beautiful by nature, imagine in ASCII! If you want to makeup your terminal, or just see something nice, this is the right command!
Typing asciiquarium, your terminal will be adorned with so much aquatic beauty made by characters!
OBS: In other distros, just install the package. On Ubuntu and Debian based distros, this is the installation process:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ytvwld/asciiquarium
sudo apt install asciiquarium
# If you have snap installed (sudo apt install snapd), try:
snap install asciiquarium
