Ohh, right. I work from home, but once I went to get a cup of coffee and my husband put on an update emulator on my MacBook. I just assumed the update started on its own while I was gone and actually waited around for about 30 minutes until I figured out just what was so funny.
The update emulator (a website on full screen, it’s even animated) is a good, safe prank. Bonus points if they had open files unsaved. I suppose it also exists for other operating systems.
At my last job we were also huge fans of the extension that replaces all images with Nick Cage and the one that would randomly play the John Cena intro every 1/1000 tabs.

Holy wow this is amazing 😍
For anyone curious, Fakeupdate.net seems to be a good source for this 😉
I guess that was it. I was so angry at myself for falling for it that I just closed the tab in a split second without checking the name 😂
I'm realizing this could also be repurposed to get out of things 🤔
I'm a fan of extensions/user scripts in the browser to give someone a special experience. Like making CSS grayscale filtered, etc.

VSCode has a beautiful theme for this situation. Hot Dog Stand.
I love it 😍
The Hot Dog Stand theme actually is an ancient prank. Windows 3.1 (!!!!!) had this somewhere hidden deep, deep down in it's OS.
I used to change the language of my friends' mobiles to Japanese. It was easy and fun at Nokia 3310 era.
