Some terminal geeks would like to spice up their MOTD or sshd banner with a scooter quote.

All deps for below commands:
brew install curl jq youtube-dl mplayer

For this example you must install jq and curl if not present. Both should be in your favorite package manager.

Random quote:
curl -s https://howmuchisthe.fish/json/random | jq -r '.quote.text'

Daily quote:
curl -s https://howmuchisthe.fish/json/daily | jq -r '.quote.text'

Or spice things op with cowsay:
curl -s https://howmuchisthe.fish/json/daily | jq -r '.quote.text' | cowsay

Or if you want to get all funky, throw it in aalib/aview:
curl -s `curl -s https://howmuchisthe.fish/json/daily | jq -r '.quote.album_cover'` | convert fd:0 pnm:- | aview

Install youtube-dl and mplayer and have some fun with this command:
youtube-dl -q -o- $(curl -s 'https://howmuchisthe.fish/json/random/video' | jq -r '.quote.videos[0].link') | mplayer -cache 8192 -
