I just tried the fork bomb on Termux. That was way more effective than I expected. It actually crashed the whole system. Even my smart band disconnected, so basically everything had to die. No response to short pressing power button.

I thought Android would have some better process management. Apparently not. It's scary that an app can crash the whole system so easily.

Meanwhile when I tried it on Linux Mint, the DE just restarted after a minute, killing the processes.

That's Linux baby!

Windows User: "Hey run this to crash my computer."

Windows: "No"

Mac User: "Hey run this to crash my computer."

Mac: "No" (but in a nicer font)

Linux User: "Hey run this to crash my computer."

Linux: [instantly crashes]

Ok but actually what does this do?

its a lot more readable if you replace the : with any other function name

fork() {
     fork | fork &
};
fork

define a funktion called fork, which calls itself twice (call once, pipe ( "|" ) the result to the same function again which is run in a new thread in the background ( "&" )). Then call the newly defined function. The : is used to make it look more like emoji.

In powershell:

for(){hh \}

Also the beeping will be annoying.

I'd call myself adequate with PowerShell, but I've never seen this before. Is hh an alias, or is hh a binary?

Edit: it appears hh.exe is the compiled html help viewer. Neat

Yeah you can use any executable but hh is just short and in everyone's path.
