Fourty days later, Anon finds that his entire computer file system has been replaced with pics of Morgan Freeman
Why aren’t there viruses like this? Everyone wants to hurt your computer. Do something dumb like that.
Or a screamer virus. That could bring the world to its knees.
My idea was a worm that just torrents random shit and dumps it on your desktop like a cat bringing you a dead bat with “I broughted you a pwesent w” energy.
Would be far more destructive on first world countries than third world countries
Love it.
There used to be a shitton of silly viruses back in the day.
The “you are an idiot” one with the pop-up that runs away from your mouse cursor was hilarious.
I wrote a “virus” in college, which basically:
- took a screenshot of the entire desktop
- displayed screenshot full-screen on top of other windows
- would only go away if you typed “@sugar_in_your_tea pwned me” or something
Oh, and it started on startup, so rebooting wouldn’t fix it. :)
I did one similar! Used autohotkey to hide the task bar at random intervals and pop up a warning that said “system out of memory”. Only way to get it back was autohotkey or a reboot. It would restart daily and on login so it would keep happening. And I hid it as “Nvidia game scanner service.exe” in the Nvidia bloatware folder so it looked innocent. Had a good laugh about that one
bro I was thinking of this EXACT idea around the time you sent this message, how many more evidence do I need to conclude that this world is a simulation 💀💀
I think that’s because most viruses aren’t made for fun but for a specific reason (i.e to steal money from someone’s computer).
Thanks for an idea
May i point you to a thing i’ve once made:
How about one that jumpscares you. Or replaces windows with Linux
That’d be hilarious lmao. Just a “windows is updating” progress bar while in the background it installs Mint, complete with transferring users/passwords, then “rebooting…” BAM Mint.
Idk how possible that’d be but a man can dream.
Why did the folder have a file extension
It’s an ancient meme rooted in green text brevity, intentionally misused to form another ancient meme, leading through yet another to a fourth.
Appending .exe to whatever states that the contextually implied action was performed. For example:
payday
groceries.exe
steak on sale
dinner.exe
It’s being used here to obfuscate a folder, as file format was used to obfuscate distribution of the LOIC in the picture of the “It’s dangerous to go alone…” meme.
But, the cake is a lie. It was Morgan Freeman, all along.
I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can’t be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away.
Understood.iso
wom.bat
maybe someone once performed a command like “for all files in this folder without an extension, append .exe to them” and didn’t exclude subdirectories from that
no nothing similar has ever happened to me, nuh-uh, why would you ever suspect that
Well there’s always self-executing archives
Self-extracting*
Why not?
Because that would be a folder extension in case of a folder.
Because there’s nothing to prevent it.
Either brave or stupid plugging in a random flash drive they found on the street.
Perfect way to get a nasty virus.
I have many a time been tempted to buy a bunch of cheap flashdrives, fill them with weird shit and just leave them in places.
It’s all fun and games until a black van starts following you
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Researching the Zodiac killer and the Mansons has left me wanting to start a new countercultural movement. Just, you know, with less killing. … At least a little bit less killing.
And their identity everywhere compromised.
