I think we may need to implement a 128 bit unix timestamp before that will work.
Many people have given great suggestions for the most destroying commands, but most result in an immediately borked system. While inconvenient, that doesn’t have a lasting impact on users who have backups.
I propose writing a bash script set up to run daily in cron, which picks a random file in the user’s home directory tree and randomizes just a few bytes of data in the file. The script doesn’t immediately damage the basic OS functionality, and the data degradation is so slow that by the time the user realizes something fishy is going on a lot of their documents, media, and hopefully a few months worth of backups will have been corrupted.
Assuming this scenario also temporarily changes Bank of America’s fraud detection policies to allow for crazy spending, I would pay all my closest developer friends a ton of money to quickly code up some scripts designed to scrape the websites of Indiegogo, Kickstarter and Gofundme to fully fund (10x over) every wacky idea anyone has ever proposed.
If you want to run some less low-level code to explore the kinds of sounds that code like this can create, I wrote a python applet that lets you explore random and custom functions interactively. It comes with several presets for interesting functions I’ve discovered on various websites.

Thanks for posting this! I’ve often struggled with ACPI and Linux in the past and this sheds a little light on why that is.
My personal favorite is the spider costume for dogs.
I also started with the HTC Magic. It’s the only phone I’ve used that has a trackball.
I found the brand. These are called Blok Watches, and they are quartz. https://blokwatches.com/
Here’s the movement in the case. https://imgbox.com/yntdBCkl
No, it wasn’t that one, but these Flick Flack designs are awesome!
That sounds like almost every Mythbusters episode ever.
Good lord! Everything but the kitchen sink!
I understand the slide rule bezel markings, but have no idea what the other numbers are for.
I have never seen so few fries from Five Guys before.
I’ve seen a video of the bezel action before and was wondering how the 2 o’clock crown operates. Does it snap in and out to engage the bezel?
That matte black coin edge bezel is really slick!
It can be found inside the hamburger menu in the top right, if you’re on mobile.
A lovely red Technivorm Moccamaster. One with a glass carafe.
I got a b/w Brother laser and have been using it with Windows, Linux and Android devices with no issues. It has lasted me through 6 years of university and I’ve only replaced the toner once. Probably the best technology investment I’ve ever made.
