I taught my 9yo sister to SSH from my Arch Linux system to an Ubuntu system, she was amazed to see terminal and Firefox launching remotely. Next I taught her to murder and eat all the memory (I love Linux, as Batman, one should also know the weaknesses). Now she can rm rf / --no-preserve-root and the forkbomb. She's amazed at the power of one liners. Will be teaching her python as she grew fond of my Raspberry Pi zero w with blinkt and phat DAC, making rainbows and playing songs via mpg123.
I made her use play with Makey Makey when it first came out but it isn't as interesting. Drop your suggestions which could be good for her learning phase?13 -
Started my day by running a forkbomb on my own computer to prove to someone what it was 😑Wake me up when it's Saturday.2

Meanwhile I reach 175 +1's I'm playing with my own custom stress ball with a bash fork bomb on it :]

How do you effectively kill all the cloned processes when you accidentally called fork() in an infinite loop before the computer starts to freeze?6

I've been successful to achieve this without executing a fork bomb. A buggy library, doesn't care about their children.
