gollark: This is just a ZIP concatted on the end, but if you muck with the formats a lot you could probably use some of the image data to store code.
gollark: So you can run this (`python3 logo96.png`) and it prints hello world, and as you can see it's a valid image.
gollark: <@!336962240848855040> So I don't know if any image format will let you stick a shebang at the start, *but* python apparently happily runs `__main__.py` from ZIP files. And ZIP files are backwards and work fine at the end of an image.
gollark: Anyway, I don't think any widely-used image formats will let you stick in a shebang or whatever at the front, unfortunately, they have headers.
gollark: Yep.
