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

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:

  1. took a screenshot of the entire desktop
  2. displayed screenshot full-screen on top of other windows
  3. 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

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).

May i point you to a thing i've once made:

How about one that jumpscares you. Or replaces windows with Linux

[-] rain_worl@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

are you referring to a gnu system?

[-] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

No no, I’m talking alpine Linux

[-] rain_worl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

linux is just the kernel!1!1!!1!1!1!!!

[-] javasux@lemmy.world 89 points 1 month ago

Why did the folder have a file extension

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

Well there's always self-executing archives

[-] lud@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Self-extracting*

[-] Bonsoir@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Because there's nothing to prevent it.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 20 points 1 month ago

Does Morgan Freeman run on Wine?

[-] Trail@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Worked for me on glorious egg roll latest.

[-] cheddar@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

I run Morgan Freeman in VirtualBox just to be on the safe side.

[-] sheepishly@fedia.io 15 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Be the change you want to see in the world.

[-] sheepishly@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] pkmkdz@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

It's all fun and games until a black van starts following you

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Perfect way to get a nasty virus.
