>>I opened w3m, only to discover that it displays images now.
I distinctly remember Links displaying images back in 2011.
Now that I think of it, at the same time I was also reading pdfs and watching movies on the framebuffer... probably. I had a bit of a situation with my hardware, so I had to spend three months in runlevel 3 on Fedora... 12, I think?
I still don't know what exactly happened back then but I watched the entire ST:TNG in the terminal. X11 wouldn't start, so that's gotta be the framebuffer, right?

Och, aye, there's even visual evidence of such:
