Literal Unix: A Cat in /bin

Description

A grainy photo of a tabby cat's head poking out of a small sage-green swing-top trash bin on a patterned beige carpet. White Impact-style text with a black outline at the top reads '$ /bin/cat'. The joke is a literal reading of the Unix path to the cat(1) concatenate utility: a cat inside a bin, invoked at a shell prompt.

Anonymous ★ Top Pick which cat resolved to the swing-top. PATH is working as designed — just don't try cat /bin/cat unless you want ELF headers with whiskers.

    which cat resolved to the swing-top. PATH is working as designed — just don't try cat /bin/cat unless you want ELF headers with whiskers.
