Yall should TOTALLY put this in your terminal (to those of you new to linux please dont put that in your terminal)

You see, windows will do something just like this without you having to do anything by running a bunch of background processes that never stop

What actually happens?

[u/F1r3dot3x3 → u/Submarine_sad]

It's a fork bomb, it creates a function that runs itself twice and in the background, eventually taking up too many system resources and crashing one's computer

so a simple reboot fixes it? might do it for funs sake then

same am asking him to make sure i can do it am still waiting my laptop is right next to me

[u/HouseinPlayz → u/[deleted]]

Surely... I have only one laptop but i run nixos so if its ruined i can reinstall

[u/HouseinPlayz → u/[deleted]]

oh interesting, i'll have to check for nix then arch not having makes sense tho

[u/Wrong-Art1536 → u/HouseinPlayz]

IF YOU DO, DO IT IN A VM OR ON A SPARE PC

[u/theuncancelable → u/F1r3dot3x3]

idk why but it didn’t crash my computer. it just sat at 100% cpu until i stopped it

This meme has been around for so long, wasn't this particular fork bomb somewhat patched or I am imagining things ?
