Yeah when I mentioned it to my dad I thought he'd flip a lid but instead he educated me on the dangers of online music piracy. Turns out he was correct about all that peer to peer stuff.In our computer art class we used to download music from Napster or whatever file sharing software was around then (I forget which one). Was pretty funny in hindsight.
There was also an underclassman who was a total ass, so one time when he was in the bathroom or whatever my friend sat at his computer and deleted all his files (this was before screen locking was common). Was funny but didn't do any damage since he had already turned in all of them
Then there was the kid who looked at porn during the class because we figured out how to get around the proxy on the browser software. He got busted but didn't get reported or anything, just a warning from the teacher. Was even funnier because his spot was in front of a window, so anyone walking by could see what he was doing
You know what though, if the music industry weren't such tight asses about things and actually stepped forth to embrace the internet as a means of moving their products, it would have at least partially solved their problems. Guess the CD factory would have been cut out of the loop and they couldn't have that, creating the physical discs is a cost that you don't have when going fully digital/MP3 format.
The most I've ever done to "prank" classmates computer wise was to change the desktop background or the mouse clicking sound to something I found funny or offensive. That teacher I mentioned was kind of an estrogenic douchebag, like the Try Guys if they were angry assholes all the time. Deleting your classmate's files is kind of a dick move unless he's a huge bully or something, then maybe it's kinda permissible, but still.
Also I can't imagine trying to look up porn on any computer in the late 90s, especially in class. Maybe your school had DSL? I did go to my school to download unrelated items onto a floppy or USB stick. But honestly, doing it in a position where any idiot can see the tits and ass on your screen???
Cooming's one hell of a drug.
I don't think twerking was really a big thing when I was in school, but I've seen worse. Glad I got out when I did though.The student committee at my school is pitching for a twerking contest as a welcome back event.
It will go as well as you'd expect.
One time there was a cookout nearby, all the Black girls started twerking excessively over trap music. Even the dance club joined in. A couple of them even begun to randomly twerk to the closest male around them.
I noped the fuck out of there. Not before taking some food with me.
I believe it was a month or so after 9/11 that my school had a bomb threat, and we all had to get our asses out of the building and line up while they sniffed through all of our shit. Quite a few people got busted for cannabis possession, but a guy I knew from my bus somehow avoided getting swept up in the net himself. Of course in the wake of WTC it was a huge deal, but eventually they found the perpetrator, turned out it was some guy from the football team that got dumped by his girlfriend of one day. I didn't follow the case or find out his name but I heard he got slapped with a six figure fine at 16 years old or whatever. Not to mention he probably didn't have to worry about exams or girlfriends for a while.
Another guy from my school attempted an armed robbery at a liquor store and had a heart attack induced by crack cocaine use when he was there. Like he overdosed when the cops got there, was a bit tenuous for the responding officers but they were cleared of foul play. He was kind of an asshole anyway so, eh.
At least one guy I encountered and had less than friendly interactions with ended up in prison for multiple charges, robbery, assault on female, firearm discharge at an occupied property, and a few others including prison infractions.
