Jesus Christ how horrifying

I think this image would work perfectly fine without the second line and just the picture

🙂 you can stop time by snapping your fingers

💀 you cannot unstop time, and this state will persist until you die, making you lonely for years

You end up stopping time for yourself and pausing the entire universe indefinitely

Eventually, Kars stopped thinking.

Alternatively, snapping your fingers stops time but snapping again doesn't start it back up.

Don't give them any ideas. So many universes ended this way.

In the beginning the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and is widely considered a bad move.

i used to work in remote tech support. one time i disabled the network adapter on the customers computer that i was remoting into

That's pretty minor.

I've done some terrible things. That's how you learn (you know what they say, test in prod)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

oh i've done other fuck ups too...

e.g. one time i ran

rm -r /* 

on a server.

luckily it was a test server, but i did manage to wipe one of the drives shared across the entire testing cluster with that one

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was tech support in college. I was handed a hard drive to wipe.

Connect HDD to laptop, load up DBAN, select drive, kick it off. NBD.

Oops, I selected the laptops os drive....

i've done something similar with dd before

I once decided to actually use the dread command.

rm -rf /

I was nuking the OS, so fuck it.

Forgot to unmount my data first...

I changed some of my router's VPN settings from abroad once because it wasn't performing as expected.

To apply the setting (through the GUI), I remembered you had to press the stop button and then the start button (there was no restart button in that menu). Guess what happened.

average router GUI

I work a lot with remote servers. I locked myself out in a similar way once or twice before. I felt like the dumbest person alive every time it happened.

I read it as you realize you are not alone and that made it far creepier
