When I was 8, I remember being bored and curious and touching a lot of parents stuff… phones… wallets… legal documents…
Most parents don’t put their stuff in safes…
Like… THE WALLET IS RIGHT THERE… I COULD JUST GRAB IT!
If they had age verification stuff back then… I could’ve just… quickly snap a pic of their ID and just YOLO it…


At our school (in the 90s), Duke Nukem 3D was installed on the entire computer lab. You could play death matches against everyone over LAN.
They even set up a keyboard shortcut to instantly kill the game, unmount the partition it was on, and drop you back to your working directory when the teacher walked up to your seat.
If you wanted class to get more interesting, you’d send a telnet message to the teacher’s PC that looked like it was infected by a virus. Or launch the script that made all floppy disk drives’ loading sounds play the Imperial March.
