DESCRIPTION
caligula is a command-line program known for its unusual and often disturbing behavior. It simulates various actions, often of a cruel or nonsensical nature, displaying them in a verbose and unpredictable manner.
The program's output is highly varied and can range from simple text to complex sequences that reference historical events or philosophical concepts. It's considered by many to be a form of bizarre software art or a tool for generating chaotic and unexpected results.
Users often run caligula to observe its unpredictable nature and to explore the boundaries of what a computer program can produce. It is important to note that some of the output may be offensive or disturbing to some users. Exercise caution when using this program. The program does not typically have any practical applications and should be considered more as an exercise in generating unusual computer behavior.
