When this happens, I feel like this
And then your prompt is all messed up, and your output is missing
\rs for some reason, so output prints like:$ ls -l drwxr-xr-x 2 lentil lentil Desktop/ drwxrwxr-x 4 lentil lentil doom/ drwxr-xr-x 17 lentil lentil Downloads/%
“Accidentally” of course, I absolutely would never
cat /dev/randomon purpose just to see what happens…You should really be using /dev/urandom though.
But /dev/random is more surprising and not because it’s more random.
Aren’t they the same now?
Isn’t there
arandomtoo?
Of course
I prefer aplay /dev/random, myself
What a nice folder of mostly text files, would be a shame if someone did a
cat *without checking to make sure it doesn’t have a 2GB encrypted game asset archive in it.I know of a fun game called linux roulette. Type all the commands from this comment section into your terminal as root and if your computer still works afterwards you win.
At one point during this game my garage door opened half way (didn’t know if could do that) and my oven tried to preheat to 2000 kelvin.
I had to check if that’s a lot. For anyone curious, this melts the oven
Yes but only a smidge.
The incessant beeping and glitching out is like a secret prize
I enjoyed the ending, thanks!
Try head, tail, or pipe to less.

Stop cat files!
owww my (face) bones hurt a lot
I feel like most tools stop and warn me it appears to be a binary file but honestly I so rarely directly cat a file.
Is that a Sheep Dog, and Wolf pfp?
The graphics make it look like the game Sheep, Dog, n Wolf but Ralph Wolf has a red nose it seems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Wolf_and_Sam_Sheepdog
Ralph Wolf has virtually the same character design as another Chuck Jones character, Wile E. Coyote—brown fur, wiry body, and huge ears, but with a red nose in place of the Coyote’s black one; (usually) white eyes instead of the Coyote’s yellow ones; and, occasionally, a fang protruding from his mouth. He also shares the Coyote’s appetite and persistent use of Acme Corporation products, but he covets sheep instead of roadrunners
Also looks like it was called Sheep Raider in America.
But yeah that’s definitely Wile E.
Well how about that… all this time I thought they were the same character. IIRC, child-me thought it was Wile E’s day job so that he could afford all those ACME products.
I can’t wait for this to be a niche trivia question
I usually head the file, which at worst triggers the feather gauntlet
The what?
Feather gauntlet. Some beeswax terminals emulate it if you run
kill -SIGFET $(pidof <your-gaunt-applet-here>).a web search for the string “SIGFET” brings up nothing related to terminals so I can only assume you are fucking with me
Yeah just having a larf, in the style of the op.
