Is this cowsay?

I think fortune | cowsay, but someone else probably knows better (like which collection of fortunes this one is from)

wait whats the joke

I did some digging.

First, this is not the standard "cowsay", this appears to be from the NPM version of "cowsay". (npm install -g cowsay)

Second this is the "meow" cow, so cowsay -f meow "hello" . Also called "A meowing tiger?".

Third, the fortune is available in the, now commonly removed, fortunes-off, package. I know Debian removed it, I think others did too. But you can install it manually.

And finally the source of the quote seems to be "Jester's Condescending English Dictionary".

Lemmy is so friggin cool. Thank you, kind internet stranger

Oh I went digging for like an hour to find that "cow" and I found out it was a tiger and not a weird unicorn.
That would be a cool design for a beast to be honest
