Someone really went ahead and named their assembly file org.asm and now it's sitting there with executable permissions like a loaded gun. The problem? On Unix systems, if you accidentally type ./org.asm instead of opening it in an editor, you're about to execute random assembly code. It's like naming your pet tiger "Fluffy" – technically you can do it, but it doesn't make it any less dangerous.

The real kicker is that org.asm sounds innocent enough, probably short for "organization" or something equally boring. But those -rwxr-xr-x permissions are screaming "I'm executable!" Meanwhile, paste.asm is chilling right below it, probably containing clipboard management code, which is somehow less terrifying than whatever organizational chaos is about to unfold.

Pro tip: If your file extension already screams "source code," maybe don't give it a name that makes it sound like a command you'd actually want to run. Save the cryptic three-letter names for your startup.
