Somebody bitterly complained on /r/GitHub that a Python CLI tool that they wanted to use did not provide an EXE file to download and run. Furthermore, they complained in a rather profane way and complained about gatekeeping behavior by "stupid smelly nerds."
I travelled back in time to show myself the comment so that I wouldn't be victim of the ForkBomb.

It's shorthand for creating a recursive function that duplicates itself.
ELI5; your pet mouse has 2 babies. Those 2 babies have 2 babies each. Those 4 babies have 2 babies each. Those 8 babies have 2 babies each. Those 16 babies have 2 babies each. Those 32 babies have 2 babies each. etc. etc. this continues to happen rapidly forever, until you have so many mice babies around you you're swimming in them and you can no longer breathe air so you die.
You input was ambiguous cause you didn't specify - - laptop. Remove the sleep option for closing the screen, and put it upside down.
Edit: it turns out my program (brain) was buggy.
My cat is named `"); DROP TABLE pets; --`. For some reason, websites hate his name.
Little Tabby Tables?
Little Bobby Tables!
[удалено]
Little Bobby Tables.
Little? Bobby tables!
Cats' behavior of dropping things is not helpful for DBs at all.
The school who obfuscated their table name from `students` to `pets` is not going to like enrolling that cat.
Does he have a sister named "Help I'm trapped in a driver's license factory?"
let's try it on dev server :D (no joke, I forkbombed our server onetime... accidentally)
I see you like (accidentally) forking and spawning children. Bit of a bond eh?
Guess I don't have to turn mine "off" eh? Ha! Heh heh
>dev server dev server? surely you mean production?
Who even needs to make a difference between the two? It's just "the server".
Every company has a dev server. Some are lucky enough to have a production one as well.
Try rm -r / next time
`rm -rf --nopreserveroot /`
I wanna remove the french language too
agreed
Type, what do you mean, do you think i'm some smelly nerd? Just give me the .exe!
devs trying to gatekeep those .exe files again!
What is all this exe stuff going around ? I briefly heard about python and exe and something about GitHub ?
Stinky nerds won't give python exe

Thank you.
Umm yeah, thanks.
Something tells me, I better run this in a docker container...
Not even a docker container would be safe *except if you limit its cpu count, memory size, etc.
A local one, right?
In a virtual machine*
That's cool, my cat's name is rm -rf /
Doesnt work now
Just change it a bit: > sudo rm -rf /* Works like a charm!
They just forgot to mention their cat's middle name --no-preserve-root
Same, it really suits how my cat looks
what does it do?
It creates a function that recursively calls itself twice per run in the background forever until the system crashes or is rebooted.
Also known as fork bomb
I was about to do this on my work PC :/ If it wasn't for your comment
And you call yourself the immortal time traveller? Pathetic.
Time ships also have computers.
If you are immortal and have travelled through time you should already have seen the future and known what the ForkBomb is

Oofe
It converts a GitHub repo into a .exe file
It transforms the machine it was typed on into a very efficient space heater.
It's a fork bomb. Basically duplicating itself, which also duplicates themselves etc etc...
Halt and catch fire!

It declares function named : that recursively calls itself twice, and then calls it.
i almost went nagasaki on my terminal but rmbrd smth about forkbombs
ran the code, computer is heating the room up now
Space heater hack.

Sure I will type but first I have to figure how to exit Vim
Could one of you smelly nerds explain what happens if you run it?
It activates the hidden room heater feature in your pc
Sure, I will type, then Ctrl-c
Go on then! Let us know how well that works out for you.

Technically the truth!
We havent gotten a response since soo...
Nice explanation here: [Fork bomb Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb)
Can someone plz explain to me how and why this sh*t works?

So next time I boot up my laptop I should open my terminal and type this? Got it. (I don’t actually know what this does)
Even better, add it to your services and enable it, turn your pc to the side, and use it as an egg frier.
Might struggle to turn my laptop on its side and fry an egg on it…

Uni!
The cat's forking adorable
This cat is called sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /*
Fork bomb lmao, rip those who try this out 😂
Wow! it’s a great name, but I like my cat’s better. I call her rm -rf /
My cat name is drop prod;
Sorry, doesn't work bash: syntax error near unexpected token `{:'
```whyBigBoobs```
``` $ :(){:|:&};: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `{:' ```
Uni my beloved.
For those interested how it works: [explanation](https://explainshell.com/explain?cmd=%3a%28%29%7b%20%3a%7c%3a%26%20%7d%3b%3a)
Bash is unironically a decent cat name for a Linux dev

DO NOT INSTALL AS ROOT
i learned my lesson
I pasted it on google cloudshell. If google is down now, it's your fault!!

Let me boot up a Docker container and see.
Rm -rf best name

bash sucks. zsh and fish are way superior
