I call everyone millennials these days to make things more streamlined, boomers were really on to something with the yelling and the shaking the fist "you god drat millennials" perfect for everyone six to sixty ya know

I remember being caught with a prank link in the school computer labs in the early 2000s. The web address opened up hundreds of pictures of Goatse, made them all full screen so closing them would just reveal another one, it downloaded a small looping .wav file of a man yelling "HEY EVERYONE, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!" it maxed out the Windows volume and played that .wav file on repeat through your speakers.

The only way to deal with it quickly was to turn off the computer, then upon rebooting it, everything was completely normal. Being the mature teen I was, I then gleefully sent the link to other people in my year. Good times.

Hahaha I also was immediately reminded of this and had a similar experience
