Your task is to output the following:

   _ _ _
  /_/_/_/\
 /_/_/_/\/\
/_/_/_/\/\/\
\_\_\_\/\/\/
 \_\_\_\/\/
  \_\_\_\/

Extra leading or trailing whitespace is allowed, as long as it does not change the appearance of the cube. As usual, returning the above or a list of strings from a function is allowed.

This is , so shortest answer in bytes wins!

    \$\begingroup\$ To explain my downvote: I don't really like the challenge, because the image is taking much of the space, and I feel like you are more trying to show a funny image than to make a good challenge (even more since the pattern isn't the same as the one on the picture) (and I'm quite sure this will attract some upvotes from people that just laughed at the picture). Also, "output this exact string" with a string that looks more or less than this one has been done several times, and I fail to see how your challenge is different enough to be interesting. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @StephenS I gave +1, but I disagree that you can say the same for any KC challenge, when I make a KC challenge I make sure to make the pattern somewhat complex (so charcoal doesn't just auto-win), I make longer patterns so languages that can handle loops better have a chance (Like JS) and I try to use things that some languages might have built in like the alphabet, KC challenges differ a lot, and trying to say they are all the same takes something away from the category. \$\endgroup\$

CSS, 225 223 bytes

-2 bytes thanks to Stephen S, extra spaces removed

I'm not exactly sure if this counts because CSS isn't really a programming language, but technically CSS can be standalone since the <html> element is autogenerated if there isn't one.

html:after{content:'   _ _ _ \A   /_/_/_/\005c\A  /_/_/_/\005c/\005c \A /_/_/_/\005c/\005c/\005c \A \005c_\005c_\005c_\005c/\005c/\005c/ \A  \005c_\005c_\005c_\005c/\005c\/\A   \005c_\005c_\005c_\005c /';white-space: pre;}
