reset
is your friend. Less so these days with GUIs where it's often quicker to close the window and open a new terminal emulator, but still good to know about in a pinch. That rare occasion where you're actually on a console and Ctrl-Alt-F# isn't available, or attached to a remote session where disconnection might mean you can't get back on, etc.
The man page suggests Control-Jreset
Control-J as the correct sequence to run it, because the Enter key might have had its behaviour altered. And if things are still slightly weird after the reset
, run its parent tset
.

This has helped me when reset failed.
That rare occasion where you’re actually on a console
Actually having login console on a serial port can be pretty useful if you screw up something with network on a headless PC. I wish modern computers still had that as it also works better than USB adapters.
What a nice folder of mostly text files, would be a shame if someone did a cat *

The incessant beeping and glitching out is like a secret prize
I know of a fun game called linux roulette. Type all the commands from this comment section into your terminal as root and if your computer still works afterwards you win.
I enjoyed the ending, thanks!
Stop cat files!
owww my (face) bones hurt a lot
I feel like most tools stop and warn me it appears to be a binary file but honestly I so rarely directly cat a file.
Is that a Sheep Dog, and Wolf pfp?
The graphics make it look like the game Sheep, Dog, n Wolf but Ralph Wolf has a red nose it seems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Wolf_and_Sam_Sheepdog
Ralph Wolf has virtually the same character design as another Chuck Jones character, Wile E. Coyote—brown fur, wiry body, and huge ears, but with a red nose in place of the Coyote's black one; (usually) white eyes instead of the Coyote's yellow ones; and, occasionally, a fang protruding from his mouth. He also shares the Coyote's appetite and persistent use of Acme Corporation products, but he covets sheep instead of roadrunners
Also looks like it was called Sheep Raider in America.
But yeah that's definitely Wile E.
When this happens, I feel like this
