DESCRIPTION
blahaj is a delightful command-line utility that prints ASCII art of Blåhaj, the beloved IKEA shark plushie, in various expressive moods to brighten your terminal session.
Primarily designed for fun and morale boosts, it defaults to a warm hug but supports emotions like blushing, crying, pouting, sleepy, and winking. Popular in Linux communities, especially among Arch users via AUR, it's a lightweight Go-based tool embodying internet meme culture around the shark toy.
Invoking blahaj delivers instant cheer, making it perfect for scripts, dotfiles, or post-failure consolation. No input required—just run and feel hugged.
CAVEATS
Purely cosmetic; outputs to stdout only. Colors depend on terminal support. Not in core distros—install via AUR or source.
EXAMPLE USAGE
blahaj → default hug
blahaj --cry → sad shark
Pipe to lolcat: blahaj | lolcat for rainbows.

HISTORY
Created by Ted (teedslurdi96) in 2023 as a Go project on GitHub, inspired by Blåhaj's viral popularity in trans and furry online communities. Quickly packaged for Arch AUR and other distros.
