The original uses telnet, which we do not encourage:​
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
Instead a trick of accessing TCP/UDP via bash can be used:​
bash -c 'cat < /dev/tcp/towel.blinkenlights.nl/23'

Or a fork made for bash on gitlab using either curl or wget:​

curl -s https://gitlab.com/cscs/starshell/-/raw/main/starshell/starshell | bash
wget -qO- https://gitlab.com/cscs/starshell/-/raw/main/starshell/starshell | bash -s
