Hmm, next time! I keep thinking of ways to tie in education to a text adventure. Trying to achieve what Walt Disney said: > I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertaine

Hey HN! This is a silly site based on the Rick and Morty clip of Rick turning himself into a pickle [1] (because ??? he could). The amusement comes from Rick revealing he is the pickle, so I turned that into a command line 'surprise&#x
