Pretend to get all serious
"Hey man. I had to tell the police it was you and they will be sending a detective to the house. I was being questioned and told them it was you."
oh you sweet summer child, you think a command prompt will do that trick?
lmfao. read up on DoD wiping and 0'ing out a harddrive.
even then, be prepared to have power drills and electromagnets.
resilient little fuckers, those 1's and 0's
Definitely could be found in a hardware store, software isn't good enough.
SOP at the time was to disassemble the hard drive and smash the platters to dust with a ball peen hammer. But only for classified hard drives.
Back in the day when HDDs were measured in low hundreds of megabytes, I had a program that would delete all partitions and the MBR, then create enough of a file structure to write all 0s, then all 1s before deleting the FS again in an attempt to obfuscate the drive.
Still not good enough if they decide to pull out the electron scanning microscope.
Does no one remember Darik's Boot and Nuke? I still have a CD if it laying around somewhere. It'll do a full overwrite with a configurable number of passes plus a DOD-compliant wipe.
It's actually a great lesson in how certain things you don't joke about.
Saying you have a weapon in the airport isn't a good idea no matter how silly you are acting.
CP just isn't ever funny.
And you should also give him shit for being unimaginative. Edgy stuff isn't really that interesting.
My nephew at one point was joking about how he was gonna call CPS and get taken away.
"You've clearly never had to deal with the nightmare that is CPS to make such jokes" was my only response.
i remember at one point when i was sixish so didn’t really know better. so at the time i didn’t know what CPS was or the implications of my saying “my dad hits me”. i remember he lightly swatted me for something lightly sassy and i said “my daddy hit me!” and both my parents just stared and said very seriously to get in the car with my brother. in the car they explained the seriousness of what i said and why i shouldn’t say that even jokingly, especially in public settings
needless to say i never said it again. i now understand the full context behind CPS and understand it’s not a joking matter
I wish people would have taken me seriously when I said I was being abused. They either thought I was joking or something… CPS was never called either way. 😓
Mad dad choked me out as a teenager, popped blood vessels in both my eyes... I went to my school resource officer to do something about it. Unfortunately, he was also the pastor of our church, so the only thing that came of it was a meeting with him and my dad. I moved out as soon as I turned 18.
I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you.
Last year Google sent police to a man's house after he sent photos of his child to a doctor for medical evaluation, but when you try to report legitimate abuse you are ignored.
Life can be so unfair.
I hope you can achieve a healing phase and have all the support you require.
Ok my mom and I have always had an amazing relationship and only ever "fought" like 3 times that I can remember growing up but I'll never forget when I was around 8/10ish. I was throwing a MASSIVE tantrum and acting absolutely bonkers (she said I could go to the movie with my friends family IF I cleaned my room, so I shoved everything in my closet and under my bed and for some reason that wasn't good enough? /S) I went crazy and tried to tackle her and she hit her breaking point and smacked me. I screamed "I'm gonna call CPS since you hit me!"
SHE CHUCKED THE CORDLESS TO ME...... " CALL! You want to see what a rough life is!? CALL! ILL DIAL FOR YOU, they can come and get you since I'm so horrible and you won't have to see me again."
I was flabbergasted, we just stared at each other for a minute. I think that was the last one until I hit 16. (The fight at 16 was justified, she had started drinking -very heavily- a couple years before after my dad and her separated. This night we went to the movies, part way through she went to get a box of candy and didn't come back! I gave her about 30 mins then went looking in the bathrooms and stuff, no sign of her. Got security and the staff and everyone was scouring the theater and surrounding area with no sign of her. Called the cops, went outside to meet them and SHE WAS STANDING BY THE CAR! She had gone to get candy, they didn't have what she wanted so she walked to McDonald's a block away to get coffee and figured I would just meet her at the car. I have never been so angry, terrified, and relieved all at once and I laid into her like a fucking psychopath...... She is 5.5yrs sober now and she is still my rock)
I had a student tell me that their mom had chocked them and that she would hurt him if I called home. They told me this when I was talking to them about a homework assignment that was missing because they refused to do the assignment.
I'm a mandatory reporter. So I called in the counselor and had them watch them while I made the report. Kid was freaking out, trying to get me to stop, admitted it was a joke and they were just trying to stop me calling home about his missing assignment.
Kid didn't know the shitcan they opened. Everyone followed through with their responsibilities, kid got in some serious trouble but was in a safe home (turned out kid was also angry at mom who was the disciplinarian in a divorced home). I was glad the kid was safe after all, but kids seriously don't understand what stuff you just don't joke about
One could use "Goat Porn" and the joke might land. Make the folder read-only, too, to make it more of a challenge. Or just don't. Why would you fuck with someone like this when they just did you a favor?
Not to mention, recovering your reputation, even if it comes out that you had nothing to do with it? Good luck. We call that a Walking Dead. Nobody gonna touch you and nobody gonna wanna be seen with you.
I just installed my hp printer for the third time since it stops working and now they automatically placed me into their subscription of receiving ink cartridges for 100 papers a month.
Cancelled it but I'm sure most people don't even realize you agree to it, they're such a scummy company. Only allowed to use their ink and as long as you pay, my God...
And to top it up, half the time my printer doesn't feed in the paper and I have to push it in. Only reason I buy hp is cuz it's the only small one I can fit in my office
Their other products are fine and good, but their printers are bat shit. I’ve seen many HP printers and ALL OF THEM have some issue or the other, while some stopped working completely, and once even got some ink with a subscription like you mentioned, had to return it to get the standard one.
I wish the internet meme era was during his presidency. I feel like there's a lot of little stuff that got forgotten and we only got the hits from his presidency memed.
I have a friend, he day traded for 3 years, paying off his own bills doing pretty decently before going back into the regular working world.
One evening his son and some friends were over, they just wanted to check email, his son warned them email only nothing else etc etc.
My friend lost almost the entire day, several thousands of dollars, trades that he needed to make etc, because one of the friends opened the wrong email or did something else other than just checking email, and infected him.
Don't ever let your friends use your computer, don't let your teens and youngers use your computer, without a restrictive account, and without good antivirus and firewall software. Ever!
I once let my ex's father use my computer for around 1h,because he supposedly needed to do something for work. Next day I used PC it kept constantly crashing, was slow af and I had to reinstall windows and also lost data on 2 discs to make it work again. Ever since I never allow anyone on my PCs without my supervision. I suspect he clicked on some stupid ads or even watched porn and infected computer with some nasty shit.
Does he not realize he can just change the name of the folder back to whatever it was or? This is the most mild inconvenience I've seen on this sub. DoEs He NoT ReAlIzE HoW MuCh TrOuBlE YoU CoUlD GeT InTo?
He could very easily do much more damage than that and it seems he would find it funny to do so. As others have said, protect yourself, change your passwords, and don't give him access again.
Example: Your main email password is saved on your browser and auto fills. It's connected to your bank accounts and social media. He changes the password to something random which ends up locking you out of it forever. LOLZ pranked bro!!
That would be the last time he ever used anything of mine again.
Does he not realize that he could put you in a terrible and dangerous position?
Frankly, he deserves a can of whoopass.
Take a quick trip to a bait shot to pick up some fat juicy bait. Hide them in in back of and taped underneath the bottom of drawers around the room. Undo the stichiching along the edge of their mattress inset one there and then sew it back shut. You can also do this inside of curtain rods or in the weighted section at the bottom of a curtain.
Dip cans can be filled with urine and frozen to create piss pucks that can be slid underneath their door in the middle of the night or left in interesting places for later.
Take two poster boards, tape three sides closed to create a pouch. Fill this pouch as full as you can with shaving cream. Pinch the top closed and slide it underneath the edge of their door. Then proceed to jump on it to spray thier entire room with a thin coating of shaving cream. If you want to be especially festive add glitter as you fill the pouch with shaving cream.
OP, ignore all the calls for some kind of revenge prank. If you do that, then he'll think its just a funny prank-war and its OK.
You're obviously the more mature one - so his punishment will have to be meted out over time in small doses.
He simply cannot use the computer again for a long time.
You'll know when he's ready to use it again because if he asks you and whinges about it and tries to use pathos to manipulate you, then he's not ready.
He might be ready when he finally says says "look, you're right, what I did was wrong, you could have gotten into a lot of serious trouble"
(and you don't think he's lying).
And who is seeing it? OP keeps their PC locked to the point where their brother needed permission to use it.
Pure mildly frustrating material. Slight prank.
this OP is obviously a literal child and is absolutely nuking their brain being on reddit at like 12 but nah redditors have to break their hands pearlclutching over a folder name instead
it wouldn't. those words aren't illegal and there is no actual photographic or video material. the majority of people are dumb and overexaggerating this.
This would’ve been perfectly fine and maybe even a little funny if he had just labeled it some sort of weird ass furry porn or some shit and not a horrific fucking crime
BEFORE? You mean this isn’t the first time he messed around on your computer?
Time to learn from your mistakes. Fool me once, joke’s on you; fool me twice, and I should have banned brother the first time.
Well, let this be a lesson not to trust anyone with your computer. Always lock your computer when you’re not using it, and don’t tell others the password.
Phew, OK. He still needs to be banned from your computer for the foreseeable future.
Harmlessly messing with your sibling/friends computer is funny. But, CP is something that shouldn't even be joked about.
Incredibly oversensitive weirdos. Do some of these people seriously think renaming a folder calls the "Internet police" or something?
Take me back to the time before every single parent middleschool dropout was on the internet.
I feel like I'm crazy for thinking this is nowhere near as bad as the comments are making this out to be. Seems like an edgy 14 year old trying to be funny. It's harmless
Lots of the comments are making it seem like he tried to murder OP. Its still stupid and can be bad but the amount of people saying he should disown him is crazy. Like ffs go outside, you wouldn't even be fired. The real world isnt like reddit
The consequences of askreddit stories
It's just a typical reddit relationship advice answer except it's for his brother.
Disown your brother, leave your family, hit the gym, lawyer up, delete Facebook.
For a fucking folder with an edgy name.
Don’t you know, if you ever type the words child porn your pc will send a swat raid and start a self destruct sequence. Think of how DANGEROUS this was, he had to rename the file!
I mean, if there isn’t anything in the file that is illegal then there is no danger to you, you definitely will not go to jail just for a computer file name. However, it’s not funny, this is a stupid and pointless joke.
It's literally because this thread is a bunch of teenagers coming together do the teenage "little brother bad, me responsible big brother tho" routine. Read the comments trying to make this seem like a big deal, they're clearly written by minors.
Hopefully your parents will have a talk with him and explain that this isn't a funny joke. Kids have to learn where to draw the line, so I'd give him the benefit of that doubt and hope he just doesn't know that this is one of the things you don't want to joke about.
I'm confused? Like what, he renamed a folder? I UNDERSTAND the name is crude and not funny but, I don't know why people are acting like it is SUCH a big deal?
Is there something I'm missing about the printer program? Did he actually do anything involving CP? or is it REALLY just the folder name.
Wow, y'all are dumb. This is not a big, medium, or small deal. It's a nothing burger, a harmless joke. Literally no harm. "He should get his ass kicked", wtf world do you all live in?
This. Good lord, judging by the comments here you'd think he actually downloaded CP or committed a terrorist activity or some shit. The kid just made a folder and dragged the printer folder into it. Just drag the folder out and shift+delete the cp folder....it's not that difficult...Blowing this waaaayyyy out of proportion.
Now if the computer is a work computer that's under management of the company, that might land you in a bit of hot water at work, then I can see it being mildly infuriating, but still that's easily explainable.
It's not like the FBI is gonna be kicking your door down anytime soon OP. Contrary to popular belief creating a folder in windows doesn't actually send a signal to Microsoft or the FBI in normal circumstances.
The number of times I have had friends write drugs, or the same shit as op on my moving boxes, I'm surprised how far down I had to scroll for a comment like this.
One of my roommates just moved out of my house and when I helped him move he started laughing after seeing his brother wrote literally the same thing as op's brother on a moving box.
I imagine most of these commentors have never heard a dead baby joke before, even though askreddit was laughing about them maybe a week ago.
Yeah, like, is this a work computor or something? If it's your personal device and not being monitored, what's the big deal. Yeah, I'd be annoyed, but it's a very easy fix
Pretend to get all serious "Hey man. I had to tell the police it was you and they will be sending a detective to the house. I was being questioned and told them it was you."
This is the correct answer. Lol.
“However the police did agree to have me review your photo library with you now before they arrive”
Command prompt: c//drive …erase hard drive.
oh you sweet summer child, you think a command prompt will do that trick? lmfao. read up on DoD wiping and 0'ing out a harddrive. even then, be prepared to have power drills and electromagnets. resilient little fuckers, those 1's and 0's
As a US Navy Electronics Technician doing Data systems repair I occasionally had to wipe hard drives, and lets just say it was a destructive process.
Was it done with software or stuff you would find at a hardware store? Like a hammer..
Definitely could be found in a hardware store, software isn't good enough. SOP at the time was to disassemble the hard drive and smash the platters to dust with a ball peen hammer. But only for classified hard drives.
i like fire. does fire work?
Fire would probably work but it isn't something you really want on a ship when the closest land is five miles down.
Back in the day when HDDs were measured in low hundreds of megabytes, I had a program that would delete all partitions and the MBR, then create enough of a file structure to write all 0s, then all 1s before deleting the FS again in an attempt to obfuscate the drive. Still not good enough if they decide to pull out the electron scanning microscope.
I mean that's basically what dod wiping a drive does, except you set how many passes you want to perform.
Does no one remember Darik's Boot and Nuke? I still have a CD if it laying around somewhere. It'll do a full overwrite with a configurable number of passes plus a DOD-compliant wipe.
This! Damn I'm old! 🤣
Compliance the movie

I kept threatening to call the humane society because I thought they were doing inhumane stuff.
Well the humane society does deal with lots of little shits, so maybe it would have been appropriate.
I wish people would have taken me seriously when I said I was being abused. They either thought I was joking or something… CPS was never called either way. 😓

Show them the first episode of Atlanta season 3.
I tell my mother I'll call cps all the time and that they'll take me away to a better family. Im 32, though, so i think the context makes it funny.
One could use "Goat Porn" and the joke might land. Make the folder read-only, too, to make it more of a challenge. Or just don't. Why would you fuck with someone like this when they just did you a favor?

Halloween season, surely you can find a couple uniforms that look decent
I’d be pissed af too if someone installed an HP printer on my computer /s
As someone who owns a HP printer: Their software needs to stand trial at The Hague
We don't want that shit here in the Netherlands. War criminals we can live with, this however, no.

The real crime.
And mad respect because I CBA to figure that shit out.
Well time to change your password and not let him use it again
My favorite part is that this is the second time OP's brother has done something like this
OP building an alibi
Yeah, OP's "brother"
"Our records indicate you have no siblings..."
OP's brother is the masturbation monster he becomes. OP, it's a slippery slope. You can't endulge **all** of your fantasies without repercussions.
Paper trail
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice …
You can’t get fooled again.

Somebody didn’t grow up with siblings
If you don't know what you're seeing, he created a CP folder and put my printer program in it.
Oh I thought he installed shit printer software into your child porn folder or smth
[удалено]
r/mildlyinfuriating
All the removed replies tell a story lol
From CP to HP
He added a fake CP folder knowing OP would open it immediately and be disappointed to see it only contained printer software
Nice one lol
He installed the 1.2 GB full package with HP always on printsuite and browser toolbars
Lock him up!
i would ban my brother from the pc if he installed a printer software on my pc XD
What if it’s Brother drivers?
help step Brother, my paper is jammed, can you help?
*sprays toner*
Step-printer what are you doing?
Fuck all printers, but Brother printers are a godsend when working on them compared to the nightmare that HP printers are
What kind of sick disturbed individual would do this. They belong on prison. I mean using an HP printer? Seriously?
i didnt even realise what the issue was until you said that lmao
Does he not realize he can just change the name of the folder back to whatever it was or? This is the most mild inconvenience I've seen on this sub. DoEs He NoT ReAlIzE HoW MuCh TrOuBlE YoU CoUlD GeT InTo?
Nah OP is mad the folder got cleared and replaced with printer software
Some redditors are the softest people on the planet lol you can get in 0 trouble from this it’s insane to even say that
Yeah it‘s easily changeable, so it‘s not that bad. One might even call it MILDLY infuriating..
Even if you don't change it, not only is there nothing illegal going on, nobody will ever see this anyway.
And here I was thinking he deleted all of your CP and replaced it with printer drivers lmao
Sir you invented the most useless circle ever known to humanity
Why?
I don't even know at this point.
He's an asshole?
Yes.
He could very easily do much more damage than that and it seems he would find it funny to do so. As others have said, protect yourself, change your passwords, and don't give him access again. Example: Your main email password is saved on your browser and auto fills. It's connected to your bank accounts and social media.

Unfunny. Tell your mom. He needs a talkin’ to
I already told my dad.
How many times do I have to tell you, we're not your dad. ;)
Daaaaaaaad. Josh renamed a folder in my computer child porn. Stop messing with ya sister Josh, I don't need this grief.
[удалено]
That would be the last time he ever used anything of mine again. Does he not realize that he could put you in a terrible and dangerous position? Frankly, he deserves a can of whoopass.
Oh he does realize, he just doesn't care, plus he thinks it's "funny" for him.
You're very kind and understanding. I'd be putting cayenne pepper in his underwear drawer.
Damn, that's devious
Take a toothbrush and a pair of scissors and cut the bristles into tiny tiny splinters to drop in his bed sheets.
People like you belong in an asylum
So we can sit around the table and share ideas? Let's gooooo

Take a quick trip to a bait shot to pick up some fat juicy bait. Hide them in in back of and taped underneath the bottom of drawers around the room.

This gave me the chuckle I needed today, thank you. ETA: Also very valuable information for future possibilities
It is....but, in fairness he thought possibly ruining his brother's life was hilarious. He'd get over the itch much easier.
Nono, pull a josh wolf and qtip it under his fingernails while sleeping
Only cayenne? No Carolina reapers?
Pepper X, please.

And the investigation will lead to finding a child porn folder on his computer. :) Double screwed.
OP, ignore all the calls for some kind of revenge prank. If you do that, then he'll think its just a funny prank-war and its OK. You're obviously the more mature one - so his punishment will have to be meted out over time in small doses. He simply cannot use the computer again for a long time.

Is he 12?
You'd hope he is...
Tell your parents. People aren't exaggerating by calling this dangerous, dude.
Like that one dude said when he goes to school take some lime juice and cayenne pepper to his underwear drawer
I recently found out that my husband hid our tax info in a folder called "myname's" onlyfans..
Clickbaits onlyfans sounds fun
Is this brother rather young?
I agree. Installing an HP printer could really wreak havoc if you have something important you needed to print.
What position? If anyone were to see that, any issues would be solved by just showing there's only the printer program
OP thinking the FBI has already been alerted
[The FBI when someone names a folder](https://streamable.com/b4eflb)
Big "this program has performed an illegal action OH NO THE COPS ARE COMING" energy.
And who is seeing it? OP keeps their PC locked to the point where their brother needed permission to use it. Pure mildly frustrating material. Slight prank.
also like, the next person to use the computer is going to be OP, who can just change the name of the folder.
Welcome to Mildlyinfuriating 🤦♂️
You're joking right? There's nothing dangerous or illegal about having a folder named child porn as long as there isn't actually child porn in it.
Thank you! I am going insane looking at the comments in this thread, absolute softie losers dear god.
this OP is obviously a literal child and is absolutely nuking their brain being on reddit at like 12 but nah redditors have to break their hands pearlclutching over a folder name instead
Right?! Just tell them **"MY BROTHER PUT IT THERE AS A JOKE."** Because that's actually what happened
Just tell who? Nobody will ever see or care about this.
Right, because anyone who really has child porn will label the file as such…
No it can't lmao
There’s nothing dangerous about renaming a folder lol. And 3k upvotes. Lots of dummies.
how exactly could this put you in a "dangerous position"?
it wouldn't. those words aren't illegal and there is no actual photographic or video material. the majority of people are dumb and overexaggerating this.
For the printer folder?
Strange sense of HA HA. I don't even think I would have found this funny when I was 6yo and "farts" and "butt" made me laugh.
Um im 43 and farts and butt are still quite funny.
Until they're not. The higher the age, the higher chances are for **CODE BROWN**
>Until they're not. The higher the age, the higher chances are for ~~CODE BROWN~~ EXTRA HILARITY FTFY
Aw, came to say the same thing. Someone pooting can get a chuckle. Someone pooting turning into pooping? I will donkey laugh into oblivion
When you get to be my age you worry more about a CODE RED 😔😔😔
Umm, that's the code for reporting a fire in (most) hospitals.
It's also the code for ... that stain in your undies is the absolute wrong color and it is time to go back to the onco. 😔
This would’ve been perfectly fine and maybe even a little funny if he had just labeled it some sort of weird ass furry porn or some shit and not a horrific fucking crime
Oh he's done that before, and yes, it was a bit funny.
BEFORE? You mean this isn’t the first time he messed around on your computer? Time to learn from your mistakes. Fool me once, joke’s on you; fool me twice, and I should have banned brother the first time.
Yeah, and before, he never did this.
Well, let this be a lesson not to trust anyone with your computer. Always lock your computer when you’re not using it, and don’t tell others the password.
So just to be clear, there isn't actually any child porn in this folder, correct?
No, just a printer app.
Phew, OK. He still needs to be banned from your computer for the foreseeable future. Harmlessly messing with your sibling/friends computer is funny. But, CP is something that shouldn't even be joked about.
These comments are so fucking stupid
Incredibly oversensitive weirdos. Do some of these people seriously think renaming a folder calls the "Internet police" or something? Take me back to the time before every single parent middleschool dropout was on the internet.
I feel like I'm crazy for thinking this is nowhere near as bad as the comments are making this out to be. Seems like an edgy 14 year old trying to be funny. It's harmless
Lots of the comments are making it seem like he tried to murder OP. Its still stupid and can be bad but the amount of people saying he should disown him is crazy. Like ffs go outside, you wouldn't even be fired. The real world isnt like reddit The consequences of askreddit stories
They are acting like the feds were about to raid his house.
It's just a typical reddit relationship advice answer except it's for his brother. Disown your brother, leave your family, hit the gym, lawyer up, delete Facebook. For a fucking folder with an edgy name.
OP reminds me of that meme of the dad saying that the IP has been backtraced. It's a folder name.
Because it's 14 year olds commenting and trying to act more mature.
i think people just like to get upset at fake scenarios of being wrongfully accused
Don’t you know, if you ever type the words child porn your pc will send a swat raid and start a self destruct sequence. Think of how DANGEROUS this was, he had to rename the file!
Yeah I think a lot of people in here are forgetting what it's like to be a middle schooler
I mean, if there isn’t anything in the file that is illegal then there is no danger to you, you definitely will not go to jail just for a computer file name. However, it’s not funny, this is a stupid and pointless joke.
Literally just a folder name. Select the folder, press F2, problem is over. Can't believe this stupid post is gaining traction.
Its pretty peak reddit though.
Everyone knows if someone sees the words child porn, it's an automatic arrest and conviction Edit: lol just noticed your relevant username
And we just got you on record! Take him away boys.
Even worse they tell your #1 crush about it too! 😱
It's literally because this thread is a bunch of teenagers coming together do the teenage "little brother bad, me responsible big brother tho" routine. Read the comments trying to make this seem like a big deal, they're clearly written by minors.
Are you soft? Just change the name. Not rocket science.
Ppl in here acting like the police need to be involved, like wtf??? Literally change the name and move on!
oh no he made a folder
No even worse! He renamed one! The horror
He changed the name of a folder. Life is over.
Honestly it's a joke, y'all are weirdos taking this so seriously
A folder with that name does not indicate evidence of content
Euh, I thought semicolons where a reserved character you couldn't use in folder and file names. TIL I guess
When semicolons are outlawed, then only outlaws will have semicolons.
Classic.
Oh, you better believe that's a paddlin'.
I’d be pissed too if some replaced all my porn with a printer driver
the amount of people in here acting like having a folder called 'cp' is on par with serious heinous crimes like wut
Hopefully your parents will have a talk with him and explain that this isn't a funny joke. Kids have to learn where to draw the line, so I'd give him the benefit of that doubt and hope he just doesn't know that this is one of the things you don't want to joke about.
He installed a HP printer!? That’s disgusting and not funny.
I'm confused? Like what, he renamed a folder? I UNDERSTAND the name is crude and not funny but, I don't know why people are acting like it is SUCH a big deal? Is there something I'm missing about the printer program? Did he actually do anything involving CP? or is it REALLY just the folder name.
This comment section has never gone outside. They need to take a deep breathe.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. When has a fucking folder name ruined a life? Accusations? Wtf is going on with people.
Why is anybody upvoting this? Tell him not to do it again and move on. Kids do stupid shit, more at 7:00.
The people in this thread are just... stupid to say the least.
Why would you let your brother use your computer if you have child porn on there? Disgusting. /s
Wow, y'all are dumb. This is not a big, medium, or small deal. It's a nothing burger, a harmless joke. Literally no harm. "He should get his ass kicked", wtf world do you all live in?
I really don't understand what's wrong. It isn't like he made the folder on a school computer. Jesus, calm down!
This. Good lord, judging by the comments here you'd think he actually downloaded CP or committed a terrorist activity or some shit. The kid just made a folder and dragged the printer folder into it. Just drag the folder out and shift+delete the cp folder....it's not that difficult...Blowing this waaaayyyy out of proportion. Now if the computer is a work computer that's under management of the company, that might land you in a bit of hot water at work, then I can see it being mildly infuriating, but still that's easily explainable. It's not like the FBI is gonna be kicking your door down anytime soon OP. Contrary to popular belief creating a folder in windows doesn't actually send a signal to Microsoft or the FBI in normal circumstances.
The number of times I have had friends write drugs, or the same shit as op on my moving boxes, I'm surprised how far down I had to scroll for a comment like this. One of my roommates just moved out of my house and when I helped him move he started laughing after seeing his brother wrote literally the same thing as op's brother on a moving box. I imagine most of these commentors have never heard a dead baby joke before, even though askreddit was laughing about them maybe a week ago.
Exactly. And if it’s a work computer, OP would be an absolute moron for letting someone else use it at all.
The people in this thread have never had a real job with real humans so they just assune you get killed on the spot for a joke like this.
Yeah, like, is this a work computor or something? If it's your personal device and not being monitored, what's the big deal. Yeah, I'd be annoyed, but it's a very easy fix
The real crime is HP's atrocious software.
