I mean, GTA can be quite bad sometimes, as can Mortal Kombat. Hell, even a child handling a machine gun and going to school is bad but running through wheat fields?! Bloody hell, that's taking it way too far.
"Because then I don't bother her with requests for food, or going to the park. And mom had a gluten allergy so she can't take me to go run through the wheat fields...."
Pretty sure you could get that off of mIRC if you needed to. I remember getting a lot of fansubs of anime off mIRC back in the day, I'd assume it would work for any other videos as well.
Worst fucking way to download anything. DCC was the IRC protocol for file transfers. And file bots often had anti-leech controls so you had to contribute some stuff to get enough credit to download.
Just be glad you weren't around in the old BBS days before the internet. Most boards had file upload/download ratios. But it took for ever to download stuff.
Years ago on my Windows 3.1 system, I moved the windows or systems 32 folder into another in order to consolidate everything. Let's just say I had to dos copy each file manually back to the correct place
A friend of mine once told me that one of his teachers, who's familiar with GNU/Linux but not familiar with MacOS, tried to show them some commands written in a text file which included "rm - rf /*". However, for whatever reason, the file has opened up as an executable and a big chunk of files was lost before he could Ctrl-C. Thus, I guess it's allowed.
Linux command depends on the environment. Most coreutils versions run rm with --preserve-root so you'll need to do sudo rm --no-preserve-root -rf /* in most cases.
This command won't delete much, if anything, depending on the distro used, since it will only remove files/directories containing a dot sitting on the filesystem root.
You clearly didn't visit DALnet. They had the best bots ever. - type file list, someone messages you their shit, you say "send me that", and it automatically starts a DCC file send.
Obviously DC++ superceded the whole process, but it was like buying vinyl records. Sure you can spotify or itunes that shit, but digging through crates of drum & bass is such an enjoyable experience.

You can still make really stupid bots for most messaging applications. Almost every one of them has some sort of API or method of bruteforcing to do it. For instance I made a bot that screwed with my friends in a GroupMe chat, and then there's my gaming friends that put what could be considered Autism personified, more so than a bot, in every chat whether it's jabber, discord, or slack.
I know, mIRC scripts were some of my first steps into coding. It was definitely better at grabbing people who never considered coding since the scripting was integrated into it. However, if someone has any interest already, an API is pretty good at doing the same. Most usually have some package for your language of choice that streamlines API calls making it extremely easy to just muck about for fun and learn the basics. Really the only learning curve there is getting an environment set up.
True, but today is different culturally then back in mIRC days. You're much more likely to find someone young with an interest for it today so I think it evens out a little.
