  • What's your most cruel prank so far?

  • @shuro Here's one more.

    If you have a Unix-using friend who relies on the command history just a lil bit too much - like scrolling a dozen lines just to find an "ls" command, replace .bashhistory file with a poem of your choosing with lines ordered backwards next time they forget to lock their session.

    Don't forget to back up the old file, though.

  • @shuro The thing is, if he cares so much about some stupid logo shield, he IS a fool, after all :D

  • @shuro Wow, the first one is borderline unethical. I don't say I didn't like it, but I certainly wouldn't do that.

    The second one, though, is all around great. Will I try it some time? I dunno, maybe? :D

  • @shuro Ahh... I dunno, I think if a person cares about representing some automotive brand so much, they just deserve being mocked and made fun of.

    Wonder if that guy learned a lesson.

  • @asklemmy Here's one more from me, also computer-related:

    If you're in a non-English speaking country and your machines use layout switch function, add one more keyboard layout on every system you touch. Doesn't matter which one, but bonus points if it's as similar to ones present as possible, but different enough to matter - for example some letters are "switched". I used German, French and even Bulgarian.

    Lock the session and watch the reaction.

    You are welcome.

  • @hittherails Poor guy. Hope you got your comeuppance and grew as a person, for this was both uncool and unsmart.

  • @shuro I think, coming clean is crucial when the jig is up, though.

    If you're pranking friends - it's because you're not an asshole.

    If you're pranking an enemy - it's because you want the fucker to say your name.

  • @andrewta Takes a hell of a charisma check to convince to pack up someone else's office, I suppose. But if you did pull it off - whoa, you got a silver tongue, my friend. I hope you reconciled later.

  • @asklemmy Okay, I'll start.

    I don't know if it was my worst - but it was notable.

    Back in school, I wrote a worm using nothing but bat files. It were Windows 9x days, so it was fairly easy if you know your way around file shares. It removed most of the files and replaced autoexac.bat with a blinking message. I let it loose in the informatics classroom.

    It was a huge scandal, the whole week of informatics curriculum was ruined, my parents got a call, I was made to reinstall everything. But after all the dust settled, I got a lifelong A+ from the informatics teacher. She also offered me and my gang to learn C after class, on a promise I put my nasty mind to good use.

    Death is boring and awful. I don't want it. Nobody really wants it. If you think you do, a) get help and b) you really don't.
