As cute as the ascii art is, it takes up too much vertical space on 80x25 terminal. Is there a way to disable the ascii art in the output?

remove the cowsay package from your installation.

Hi Mario,

Because it is now Moovember, it may be a federal crime to disable the cow in your neck of the woods, so I would recommend udderly that you reconsider such a moove.

However if you decide to skirt the law, you can configure this in ansible.cfg, export ANSIBLE_NOCOWS=1, or just uninstall cowsay.

However, all are udderly unthinkable to me, and will leave you sad in the long run.

I’m not familiar with horsesay being supported in the output, I believe they speak morse.
