what does it do? (no i am not trying it on my machine)
function tombombadil() { tombombadil | tombombadil & } tombombadil()Each time it calls itself, it forks a background copy too and sends Gandalf deeper into the abyss
sounds likr there is some crazy lotr lore behind this
so basically
10 print welcome to hell
20 goto 10
30 end
It’s worse, a single infinite loop will warm up the computer a bit, this program starts two copies of itself, each of which starts two copies of itself… unless you’ve set some limits on things the computer’s going to be locked up within seconds.

Too bad they didn’t set it up as to remove the French language pack, since you don’t speak French you don’t need it:
sudo rm -fr /*
Bobby Table’s evil cat?

Do you recommend we type this in our linux terminal?
I had a class about
fork()on my Operating Systems course yesterday. I was going to look up the fork bomb, that the teacher didn’t even tell us about >:( , but it somehow found me instead.It was fate!
Tried it, fish said it’s not his name
:3
Look at those eyes! They yearn foe destruction! Also have you tried this in macOS yet?
