I wanted a 2000s/ASCII-era vibe sign to put up when I have extra bread to give away, and my wife came through in spades

I like it a lot, gonna tile it onto four pages and call it a day

Edit: I completed it with a small handwritten note at the bottom:

To be fair, I included that in my guidance to influence the overall vibe, not be chronologically precise

Also, I've always known stuff like this ¯_(ツ)_/¯ as ASCII characters and the more complicated pictures as ASCII art. So they were two separate, but related topics that I hoped she would synthesize

And boy did she

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯*

    Also, this specific example isn't ASCII art, it's some other encoding which I forgot the name of, Japanese characters, variable width (in bytes). Common for it to be drawn using Arial or a metric compatible font rather than any monospace.

    Note that "ASCII" art also refers to 8-bit extensions of the encoding, where "oldskool ASCII art" means strictly the actual 7-bit set. Not to be confused with ANSI art, which is the same as ASCII but with ANSI control characters, like for changing color.

    "text art" is what I usually call everything combined, including art on the Commodore systems, only very recently made possible with Unicode officially. Anyways, I don't really see any of it on the image...
