I miss the innocent, purer times of Desktop Destroyer. Maybe less funny and more nostalgic.

I had a version of this that had a trampoline to bounce a trimmed/plucked chicken, and the more you bounced it the higher it would go before crashing through your desktop. Can’t find it now. It was a high quality little program, though. Fun times :D
Wow, that takes me back. I had fun with the one. Thanks!
The developers of game dev tycoon released a cracked version of their software with a twist. The players using the cracked software would eventually have their business go bankrupt due to piracy. Best part is that people who were using the pirated software were actually posting on forums asking how to... get people to stop pirating! The irony!

The irony being that because the developers put up the torrent themselves, "the pirated software" arguably wasn't actually pirated.
Probably lolcat, which is like cat, but outputs text to your terminal in a multicolored rainbow. It has no other purpose. For fun you can pipe output from figlet into lolcat.
