The Morris worm or Internet worm of November 2, 1988 was one of the first computer worms distributed via the Internet. It was written by a student at Cornell University, Robert Tappan Morris, and launched on November 2, 1988 from MIT.
It’s trapped on a floppy tho this is some dark shit it has been denied its purpose forever bound to this obsolete storage
am i glad it’s in there and we’re out here
people reading fantasy novels ask “why did the ancient ones seal the evil away for ten thousand years instead of just killing it” but then we go ahead and do this shit
We have learned nothing from every fantasy novel ever O.O
The best part, from the wiki article: “According to its creator, the Morris worm was not written to cause damage, but to gauge the size of the Internet.”
It was intended to do good, but the programmer made a mistake and it got out of hand, becoming viral.

marketing strategy: if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
Every damn Christmas season we all listen to the exact same music, eat the exact same food, put up the exact same decorations, and watch the exact same movies that have existed since our parents were children at least if not longer. Why on earth would you expect them to change the commercials?
Can we just accept that Christmas is its own miserable bubble of space-time we’re forced to enter at the beginning of December where on rare occasions some poor object or media gets left behind in it and becomes another piece in the undying collection of the Christmas space-time it uses to eternally torment us.
For their part, the Gardner police said in a Facebook post that they thought it was pretty damn funny.
“We would like to sincerely thank the persons responsible as it made our day when we pulled up what we expected to be hundreds of pictures of coyotes, foxes and raccoons. Thank you to the citizens who noticed the cameras. Your effort and sense of humor are greatly appreciated.”
I’d like to think that this is just how people in Kansas naturally behave at night.
apparently modern medieval scholars have no solid idea why there’s so many old paintings of knights fighting snails. Like that wasn’t just one weird painting there’s hundreds of those.

And my favorite one here
I’m not saying humanity defeated an invasion of snail aliens in the Middle Ages but hold on wait that’s EXACTLY what I’m saying
snail aliens, or snaliens,
probably it was just funny so people kept doing it. which is basically what a meme is
the explanation I’ve heard is that most of the monks who did these illustrations would have kept small gardens where they grew all their own food and this was their way of venting about snails ruining their gardens
There’s a strange noise coming from
the ocean floor in a remote area near
the Arctic. Local Inuit described the
noises as ‘pings,’ ‘hums,’ or ‘beeps,’
and noted that the sounds are scaring
away local sea mammals and wildlife.
Theories on the source of the sound
range from an iron mining corporation
to submarines to secret military
experiments, but so far nobody
knows what it really is. Source
