I use this all the time. I find this option pretty neat: curl wttr.in/Moon Shows current lunar phase. I use Termux[0] on my phone with curl installed. Pretty handy. Also, check out rate.sx[1] from the same author: curl rate.sx Shows information about current exchange rates of cryptocoins.

Has nobody mentioned, that this is just wego as a service?
A while back I made something along similar lines, though not quite as useful. curl https://poptart.spinda.net
As someone who is still relatively new to tech, how did you make this?
You even somehow turned my black terminal screen to dark blue, even after I stopped the curl process!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Maybe it's just me, but I find PowerShell to be so verbose. Why does every parameter have to have consist of a camelcased sentence? I'm a good typist, but I don't think what you wrote is better than curl wttr.in But that might just be (my) programming.
It's case insensitive and there are short aliases for commands. I live in Linux, but used it way back when. It's an object oriented shell that is kind of awesome and intuitive. Bash is great and you can get shit done, but i don't think it's as user friendly as powershell.

Ed: strictly speaking, URI is not even a thing that you pass to a web request. I bet that IRM couldn’t fetch urn:isbn:0451450523.

That's great, content like this is why I browse hackernews. As someone who is still relatively new to tech, how did you make this? You even somehow turned my black terminal screen to dark blue, even after I stopped the curl process!
This scared me the first time I tried it because the output was perfectly sized to my terminal. I couldn't fathom how it was possible for the server to know my terminal width. It turns out my terminal was set at 125 characters wide and wttr.in outputs a 125 character width display.
From what I understand, “curl example.com” is almost exactly as risky as “curl example.com | bash”, since curl does not escape terminal command sequences, and those can include key rebindings; e.g. your Enter key can be rebound to “rm -rf ∗” or “sendfile ∗ evil@example.com”.
