vim

Everyone else talking about how to shred files or even the BIOS is missing a big leap, yeah. Not just destroying the computer: destroying the person in front of it! And vim is happy to provide. 😅

True, just entering vim on a pc for a user who doesn't know about vim's existence is basically a prison sentence. They will literally be trapped in vim hell until they power down their PC.

I once entered vim into a computer. I couldn't exit. I tried unplugging the computer but vim persisted. I took it to the dump, where I assume vim is still running to this very day.
