This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

In university we were taught C programming. We started with simple things like loops and stuff. After a while the topic processes, threads & stuff came up and of course we were instructed to use that.
In the computer lab there where only thin clients so everything actually ran on the server.
A good friend of mine - not know what was about to happen - entered:
Astoundingly it took a whole minute until the server froze. ๐คฃ
That was the same server most of the school stuff ran on. So nearly everything went down. ๐
He got scolded by the sysadmin the next day but nothing serious happened.
What does that command do?
Creates a new process. So, it would create an infinite amount of processes filling RAM.
