xcowsay: Display a thought bubble instead of a speech bubble.
$ xcowsay --think
try on your machine

The xcowsay command is a utility in Linux that displays an animated talking cow on the desktop, similar to the cowsay command but with a graphical interface. It is primarily used for fun or as a notification tool.

The --think option is used with xcowsay to make the cow appear to be thinking instead of speaking. When this option is included, the cow's speech bubble will be replaced with a thought bubble, indicating that the cow is deep in thought or pondering something.

So, running the xcowsay --think command would display the animated cow on your desktop with a thought bubble instead of a speech bubble, giving the impression that the cow is thinking about something.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
