I think I have a real 1kb version that looks better, but not on this phone. Have the big one instead for now.

Edit: I think the 1kb is just a legend. I do have this 3.9kb though (a lie again, it's actually 3.4)

Ascii art would likely be smaller.

repost to spread <1kb of Christmas joy

 *                             ___
/**\                        ( o o )

/o\ _/ /*******\ | /o**\ ---|--- /***********\ | ~~~~~ /
|| /_
o

Edit: it looks fine in the editor here…

have you tried putting three backticks before and after the ASCII art?

```

like this

```

compressed to actually 1 kb as a jxl

lemmy won't let me upload jxl files unfortunately so here's a png version and a link to the jxl

edit: got it to exactly 1024 bytes and added text

You could probably get this even smaller with a binary vector format like tinyvg

Somewhere in a parallel universe : We have a new compression algorithm thanks to a random post on Lemmy that went too far
