    People would read the second message, type the yes prompt, break their system. But still claim that it was linux’s fault, and that the OS doesn’t work.

      They need to noobify that prompt further, something like “Yes, break my system!”. Even Linus wouldn’t fall for that (I hope)!

      Honestly I once did this to my desktop environment because I saw a huge list of packages and ignored it because I thought they were packages that could be upgraded, not that it was going to uninstall my fucking desktop lol

      While it was funny, it probably is for the best. Especially if a kid uses the system it might legitimately scare the shit out of them lol

      I wouldn’t be surprised if a kid thought the police was gonna break in now

    The third one is new to me. “Congratulations” - that’s fucking hilarious.

      EFL is an absolute crime against programmer-kind, even if the errors are, admittedly, hilarious. can assert that they are not so funny when you find them deeeeep in some god-forsaken legacy codebase that’s seen more null *s than git commits lol

    Your system ate a SPARC! Gah

    What does this mean? Does it has something to do with… I don’t know, the Sun SPARC CPUs?

    I’ve been messing around with Linux VMs and have gotten kernel panic a lot lately. Always gives me a chuckle

    • Login as a user.
    • Delete the user while still logged in
    • Run command

    You should get a message “you don’t exist, go away”

    Not sure if that one is still around but I know one person who ran a script with “deluser $USER” and it ate root resulting in fun messages like that
