Was hoping for an Easter egg, but it just says unrecognized option? At least on my phone it does, iirc that's a Debian Buster install that I haven't updated in three years.


I might be overexplaining but it's a joke because lossy compression of a gzip would end up with you losing data that could render the entire file unreadable.


Yeah, that much was clear, just thought it might refer to a hidden option that triggers a funny message, but it didn't for me so perhaps it was a macOS' gzip thing or an ancient/recent gzip version thing.
