it's hard to hate 4chan.

skinnymode · 5 months

I'm pretty sure that kid found it quite easy to hate 4chan.

obvious troll is obvious.

It was probably better that he ultimately broke the hard drive. Dad goes to fire up the computer... clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick...

Kid doesn't say a fucking word. No way to prove the hard drive didn't just fail.

Piratiko · 5 months

See, the thing with 4chan is, because it's all anonymous, I can never tell if these things are real or not.

For all we know, that entire thread was one guy.

kakesu · 5 months

My question: if he nuked dad's work PC, what PC is he posting on 4chan from? And why wasn't he just using that the whole time?

Who's the real troll here? The world may never know.

ArsenalOwl · 5 months

How do we know he was never heard from again if it was all anonymous?

I think you meant "it's hard to like 4chan".

Darktidemage · 5 months

You realize this is fake right? The guy is like "Why yes I do have a large magnet my dad uses or holding metal together, it looks like this" and posts a picture of it. that is pretty obviously fake.

aemilius_lepidus · 5 months

Actually, the kid should be just fine, if he pretends nothing happened.

In case the magnet did header crash the HD, he should just pretend nothing happened. If his dad is somewhat tech savy, he will know header crashed hd when he hears one and will know his data is lost no matter what.

Even if it is a troll, any idiot who would take advice from /b/ deserves it.

james9075 · 5 months

how do you get so lucky on 4chan? everytime i go on there its like this

ceri23 · 5 months

What we didn't know is that the dad was famed researcher John P. Smith and he had left the computer up during the day to finish sequencing the protein combination that would cure all forms of disease (genetic or otherwise) by making our bodies instantly regenerate to a mid-20s self regardless of the problem. It meant immortality. 4chan just killed us all.

Can you actually delete C:\Windows\System32 when you're running Windows? Surely there would be a protection error or something? And I'm pretty sure in Vista and 7 there are permissions and UAC that would prevent you from doing this (Most people do not run their systems with Administrator privileges).

due to my excessive use of reddit i have become immune to it's hilarity. but this.... i quite literally cried from laughing. thank you, you magnificent sir!

DrSpaceMan343 · 5 months

/b/ kind of saved him if you think about it. dad comes home to a hard drive that doesnt work all the kid has to do is say "i dont know dad it wasnt me" and the dad should end up assuming the hard drive just failed. where as if he comes home to xp being installed on a vista machine he would have to assume the kid downloaded a virus and tried to fix it.

Either the icing on the cake or more proof he's trolling: del requires either confirmation or an additional /Q argument before deleting

big_red__man · 5 months

Every now and then they come up with something funny but 99% of it is racism and pedophilia. It's easy to hate racism and pedophilia.

4chan just completely redeemed itself in my eyes. It really pains me that anything that says "delete" could be trusted

Some kids did this to all the computers in my school's lab. I couldn't help but laugh, but i felt bad at the same time.

deusvires · 5 months

Downvoting for troll. The guy takes pictures of the screens and posts them but not the uncommon giant magnet that his dad has just lying around?

I call good troll with some imagination.

unsafetomcat · 5 months

I saw the exact same response to a thread that instructed people to do that "onestop" thing on windows media player, it was the exact same story, "shit my dad's gonna be here in 10-15 minutes fuuuuuuuck help." obviously it could have just been a copycat, but you never know

genericname01 · 5 months

oh god, I've read this before and I still lol every time.

The dude pretending to destroy his dad's computer is a pretty good troll.

ethicks · 5 months

steven bonnell said it the best. "4chan is just trolls trolling trolls in a troll paradise".

Please explain to me why that kid would use his fathers work computer if he had access to another computer that would be presumably his? Falls flat right there. That and he was just feeding off things other users would say. They thought they were trolling him but in reality he was the master troll not even admitting to it after it was over.

Trolls got trolled how was he posting all this to 4chan?

iLuVtiffany · 5 months

Just like students who copy shit out of wikipedia that's been edited by trolls. They never check other sources to see if the information that they're getting is correct.

I love trolls, and I love the idiots who fall for shit like this.

FrownSyndrome · 5 months

This is painfully fake.

dirty_fingers · 5 months

Why was he using his dad's precious computer in the first place if he had another computer handy to update 4 chan on his progress?

LNMagic · 5 months

Magnets won't harm your hard drive. This is a myth based on old storage tech - floppy disks.

The only magnets powerful enough to scrub data from a drive platter are laboratory degaussers or those used by government agencies to wipe bits off media.

Think about it - the hard drive has magnets powerful enough so that about 12v can power it up to 7,200 RPM (some even at 10,000RPM). It's also fully encased by metal. That kid's hard drive is fine.
