So, I'm binge-watching Rick and Morty and this episode comes on where the Devil sells his brick-and-mortar shop for a website, referenced in the pic-related (which is so close to a copyright infringement on a Steven King novel that I honestly don't know how they got away with it unless Steven King is actually a cool person).
So I was expecting it to redirect to some "watch the show" pitch, but then it comes up as this pop-up that asks me to download some file.
That's fucking funny, first of all.
But second of all, can anyone tell me what risks are being taken by following the instructions?
I mean, is it malicious? Why did nobody think that fans wouldn't actually try to access the site and thus attempt to tie it into Rick and Morty merch with some clever website that it redirects to?
It's weird.
Anyway, anyone who might be able to play H4XX0R for a minute and tell me what the fuck is going on would be appreciated.
Unfortunately, I'm running an HP desktop from like five years ago, and the fan's going out and making me hit F2 most every time I reboot, which I have to do every several days because everything starts lagging like molasses in winter, and I inevitably just have to hard reset, which does solve the problem at least.
Trying to run a virtual machine on my PC would probably be as much of a risk as just downloading it, lol - that's why I'm asking people with more technological capabilities than I have available.

just walk into the house and say "Mom, dad, I am gay" I am fairly sure they will just say "we knew all along son, we've been reading your posts to Jow Forums/g/"

I then remembered that I had a Macbook, and nobody really cares about trying to give viruses to Macs, because like only really rich people can afford them and they just pay the money to them cleaned or replaced or who cares as long as I still have those pictures of my granddaughter's wedding just make the fucking machine work like I want it to.
It was an update for Adobe Flash that led to a bunch of popups and the triggering of some security program that I just exited out of and closed all the browser windows.
I restarted the browser and tried the site again, and it went to some really weird early-2000s-style casino banner of choices that just led to a bunch of ads for random things that seemed to be generated by the words you selected - I don't know; It's hard to explain, but it's obviously complete bullshit, so I guess that's the answer to what happens when you try the website on that episode.
Tyler Johnson
>do the n33dful and run this maybe consider kodi instead of a jeet site?
Hudson Smith
Lolwut?
I mean what does any of this have to do with my being a pathetic poon-hound? I hardly see what your point could be, but I'd probably willingly bend your mother over the coffee table that you had your first boo-boo on and fuck her senseless, and if that sounds like some kind of overcorrective machismo bullshit to cover up some deep-seated homosexual urges...
Well, I don't really care, and neither would your mom, and this is what you get for talking to strangers on the internet.
I mean, if I were gay, it would be your dad, right?
Like, if I were gay then I'd want to have sex with your dad, but I promise that I don't.
Isn't that great for you? Aren't you glad that you have determined that I am a person who would not want to have sex with your father, but would very gladly have sex with your mother?
Boy, these are the real questions that we need to answer, I tell ya.

I had to google these. Kodi seems to be Open Source Theatre Software, and Jeet is referring to a late nineties movie, most notably, but also means "win" or some such victorious phrase in whatever language it was that I didn't bother to pay attention to.
Point being, I'm not really sure what you're saying, and "do the n33dful and run this" doesn't actually make sense to me except to imply visiting the site and then running the programs it asked me to... which I just explained that I already did, so I don't know what further action you're recommending.
Josiah Robinson
0/10 worst bait I've seen in a while
Josiah Clark
bait? just googled it, seems like it has something to do fishing or something, lol
what's that?
Jordan Rivera
Where are you getting the the popup from? I went to n33dful.com and the source code is just 404: Not Found
Lucas Kelly
I guess you're really suspicious.
That's probably smart to be, but there becomes a point where your suspicion is laughable, and this is it.
What might I be trying to catch were I bait?
I'm just asking questions to those tho have better capability to do technological shit than my broke ass can accomplish.
It's not a fucking trap, dood.
Like, why are these boards here?
I come to Jow Forums when there's some technological shit I don't understand that I'm hoping some helpful user might assist me with.
I go to /x/ when spoopy shit happens, and I go to /his/ when I need people who have read a bunch of shit that Jow Forums is too irresponsible to manage.
/b/ is sort of just a shameful secret, and don't judge me.
Like, who's trying to fucking outdo anyone here?
It's all so retarded.
If you weren't a fucking loser, you wouldn't be here in the first place, so like who even cares anymore?
Camden Phillips
I just went to that domain and it looks like some sort of streaming/piracy site. Probably someone grabbed the URL after watching the episode.
Jordan Miller
Well, the easy answer is that people are being baited to give up whatever personal information exists that might allow one who isn't them to pretend to be them for however long it takes them to benefit to a degree that whoever they are is less able to accomplish what they want compared to whomever they're fishing for.
But how far does that ever get the fisherman?
I mean, how big of a fish do you think you can catch?
There are limits.
Icarus flew with wings of the same wax that you think you're going to reach the heavens with, lol.
Are you new here?
Parker Ward
That's weird. I don't know my HTML code very well, but that looks like a header, and that's not what I experienced at all.
If I had, I would have assumed that the domain was simply left as inactive, instead of whatever redirecting service had purchased it in order to try and install what seems like malware onto the machine I was using to access it.
Colton Gray
I mean, I'm not mad or anything; I get the joke - when people look for things that they want on the internet, it's funny when whey encounter something that will do the opposite of that, because opposite outcomes of the things that we hope we will encounter by doing the things we do is one of the most basic forms of irony.
I mean, why didn't Tony Stark use lead for his joints?
Because the iron knee was overwhelming.
I mean, how great is that joke?
You can fuck with it for a while and refine it and even make it better, probably, but like, that's all I could come up with for the moment, but I still think people will laugh.
I don't even care if they don't, but I feel sorry for them, lol.
Has this gone too far off the rails for a Jow Forums thread? I just hope that literally anybody is still interested in it.
Liam Russell
I mean, if this whole thread isn't funny, then I just give up.
For one, you have the trope of the noob who is asking their elders for advice.
How much that invites comedy is obvious and pretty much limitless, because noobs do whatever their elders tell them to despite the obvious mal-effects.
Then you have the added benefit that the speaker was so full of hubris that they called the audience a "fucking loser" which is pretty harsh and should of made them pay for all the people they pissed off.
And then you have the cheap wordplay that they offer which might make up for such unforgivable crimes.
I mean, don't you know that what you say on an anonymous cabbage-farming website is what defines your reality, and you're going to suffer for what you have to say here, for sweet blessed Jesus' sake as he lays next to those weird beasts that are probably going to give him colic because first-century Palestinians don't know a fucking thing about science and probably actually think that gold, frankincense, or myrrh matter a goddamn thing in terms of whether this fucking baby is going to survive?
Like, dude... whatever.
People get whatever they deserve, I guess.
Benjamin Hill
I mean... like.. wouldn't funny be better than anything that we might try to claim is more beneficial to humans that whatever is funny enough to better fulfill us?
Lol.
I mean, what's not fucking funny?
Living your entire life as some kind of lie that told you that caring about others more than you did about yourself would matter more?
Colton Stewart
Who cares about that?
Like, wouldn't you have to imagine both some kind of human consciousness that shared your interest in what was beneficial and then then also imagine whatever would think that your caring what other people thought mattered in the first place considering that you gave a fuck about what other people thought?
Like, this is some kind of broken experiment, and it's fucking hilarious.
So you wake up and you think you're somehow able to define what consciousness means, but when you do, you just find some consciousness who fucking spits in your eyeball or on your grave or in your face or whatever, and then you remember that people don't all want you to have what you think of as happiness, and you tell them to fuck off and then comes again the same old boring fight over whose consciousness matters, and you have to admit that you can't answer that question, and the entire thing just starts again.
At least it's always funny.
Hunter Turner
Isn't it funny that I can't figure out what point I might have to be alive at this juncture?
Isn't is just a silly little fact that If someone told me that literally the entire human species was going to be wiped out by some sort of asteroid, I'd say "well, that seems pretty fair, because we've all pretty much had our shot, and it wasn't good enough."
Is that too edgelordy? Oh, shucks. Looks like I don't give a shit.
Dylan Allen
I haven't slept for 2 days what the fuck are you talking about you kike?
John Price
Like, I'm not even joking.
If you told me that I was going to be killed by an asteroid, I'd laugh my ass off, because that is fucking hilarious, and even though I've tried to to be a decent human, nothing mattered at all. I mean, that's a really funny joke.
I've tried to do my best and I'm going to be arbitrarily destroyed by something that I could never attempt to control in the first place.
That sounds like what Dinosaur laughs might sound like.
Ha.
Isaiah Bailey
I don't know, you dick. Like, I don't know what sleep means anymore than you do. What's a kike?
Do you imagine that there's maybe some human folk that are chosen by some higher omniscience to share in your little game, and that you didn't make the cut?
Well, I guess if they think they're so special, then they have the obligation to explain it to you, or otherwise admit that they just exist in this universe like you might have to.
Who are these people, though?
Jason Jackson
schizo thread
Joseph Sanchez
Yup. You win that gamble. And so it's a schizo thread.
Because you think that means that you don't have to wonder what that means, even though you do.
Lol... your loss.
What a fucking noob.
Parker Cruz

Jayden Brown
Gee. You seem so composed and well-informed about what this declaration might mean to you.
I hope you're right.
Justin Gutierrez
This whole thing is really demoralizing.
Oh, well.
Joseph Thomas
Your Reddit spacing is literally giving me an aneurysm
Benjamin Foster
P.s. what the fuck is happening in this thread right now wtf. Is this actual schizophrenia or like wtf is going on
