This might be an odd/off-topic question, but in Telegram this article has an auto-fetched thumbnail of a cat smoking a cigarette and a text similar to 'heavy metal music playing', I'm just curious where this picture is from, if you have any idea? I checked the README for the repo, pictures of the contributors etc. but I'm unable to figure out where it's coming from.

That's a very very very old GitHub avatar of mine, I wonder why Telegram hasn't pulled a later one.

  Telegram also shows my old Github avatar - it seems to cache them extremely aggressively.

The site[1] where the video is actually hosted has the image you described as the avatar of the uploader. Could it be the reason? 1. https://asciinema.org/a/qvNlrFrGB3xKZXb6GkremjZNp https://asciinema.org/a/qvNlrFrGB3xKZXb6GkremjZNp
