I feel like this is normally the content you see in Stack Overflow
Probably best for the code review StackExchange forum, actually.
Might be pretty fun for the code golf stack exchange too!

#25Thank you to everybody who commented! The suggestions to use something more sensible than a oneliner (and to post on Stack instead) are well taken. A big motivation of this project was "just because", for shits and giggles, so I hope it's amused you for a minute or two. Cheers!

#27You might consider putting this in a GitHub Gist, sharing the link for it, and accept comments and improvements within the Gist comments functionality. This would also allow others to fork your code to improve upon or keep a copy for themselves.
Great idea, thanks! https://gist.github.com/nerdcha/3e811ef28d04561f73337e46267a...
