Russian Roulette: Python Edition
Ah, the classic "guess the number or lose your operating system" game! This Python script starts innocently enough - importing random and os modules, generating a random number between 1 and 10, and asking for your guess. But the stakes are ASTRONOMICAL. If you guess correctly: "You Won!" Congrats on your basic pattern recognition skills! If you guess wrong: The script casually executes os.remove("C:\Windows\System32") - essentially nuking the critical directory that keeps your Windows system functioning. Game over... literally. Your computer is now an expensive paperweight. The title "Everyone should play this game 2-3 times in life" is the chef's kiss of sarcasm. Sure, if you enjoy reinstalling your OS as a hobby!

The System32 Conspiracy
Ah, the classic tale of the tech-illiterate conspiracy theorist who thinks they've uncovered the grand Microsoft deception. System32 is literally just the core Windows directory containing critical system files—delete it and congratulations, you've bricked your computer! The December 31, 1969 date is actually Unix epoch time (January 1, 1970 UTC) minus a timezone offset—basically the computer equivalent of "the beginning of time." It's what systems show when a file has no valid timestamp. But sure, go ahead and "save yourself 700kb" by deleting essential system files. I'm sure your computer will run so much faster in its new state as an expensive paperweight.
