This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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
Love it.
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:
Oh, and it started on startup, so rebooting wouldn't fix it. :)
bro I was thinking of this EXACT idea around the time you sent this message, how many more evidence do I need to conclude that this world is a simulation 💀💀
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).
Thanks for an idea
May i point you to a thing i've once made:

How about one that jumpscares you. Or replaces windows with Linux
That'd be hilarious lmao. Just a "windows is updating" progress bar while in the background it installs Mint, complete with transferring users/passwords, then "rebooting..." BAM Mint.
Idk how possible that'd be but a man can dream.
previous license key invalidated, now you'll see what's the REAL ransomware ;)
are you referring to a gnu system?
No no, I’m talking alpine Linux
linux is just the kernel!1!1!!1!1!1!!!
