I believe that specific site was called "Last Measure". It would also open up a bunch of shock sites...

I'd make Windows 11
Edit: Whoops, that's not harmless
I call bullshit. In the 90s you had to turn a phisical wheel to increase the volume of the computer.
Right it was like those jumps scare sites where it would play something very quietly so you'd turn up the volume, then they would announce the porn at full volume. It was a gag site/video file, not a virus.
As someone caught out by this, most of us had speakers and windows had volume controls as well. They're kinda useless to have super low volume, so the tendency was to turn the speakers up and have windows control it. (what could go wrong? mine was always set low in windows, this was before lots of ads on browsers would randomly come on too) Fortunately everyone thought it was the guy in the cubicle next to me, with about 10-15 heads popping out of cubicles in our direction.
And for what it's worth the audio clip finished with an enthusiastic "YEE HAW"

There's a 1 in 50 chance that any copy text command cuts the text instead, and vice-versa.
When you click the mouse button, the pointer position moves up to 10px in a random direction before applying the click.
That poor guy that thought he accomplished it by just having a virus that changed peoples files to pictures from Clannad but got arrested for copyright.
Like genue wishing this one.
Not so harmless to the guy living in Iran that got stoned.
theres used to be a DOS batch script line you could put into a windows startup that pipes the video output into the keyboard input, immediately crashing the machine. i believe this was patched after windows 7.
The mouse cursor switches between normal and inverted every 2 seconds.
I did this in high school, it was just a basic script that spawned a warning dialog box (the kind thats always on top) that just said you can't close this, part of the script action was making tge task scheduler check every few seconds if the script was running... If it wasn't then run it.
Since I was making the task scheduler do the checking it meant even if you tried to task manager force close the script it would just open again in a few seconds, it was not a permanent task it was a temporary one and every opening of the script would reset that task so basically the only way to get rid of it was to restart the computer as that would clear the task.
Bootable USB with w11
It wasn't a file, it was a webpage. And it loaded infinite popups showing a dude's gaping anus, turned the volume up to 100%, and played a loop of "Hey everyone, I'm looking at gay porno!"

How harmless are we talking? I'm thinking of one that randomly "locks" the next file you try to open that was last accessed over 30 days ago. It prompts you with "File locked by last user, please enter username/email and password"
No matter what you enter, it unlocks the file.
Then the next time it triggers, it prompts you again, but blocks you from using the same username and password.
Rinse and repeat while the user keeps giving you all their user names and passwords over time.
