I used to do this with Kid Pix on DOS back in the day. It was like paint but with sound effects lol.
I just liked to spam the dynamite tool (I think it was?) whichever one put the funny explosion effect on the screen.
You could also freeze the explosion midway through for a cool swirly effect.
I liked to switch the language to Spanish and do some fire remixes with the alphabet tool.
Is this a universal experience from the time period. How did it start. Nobody told me to do this. I just did.
It’s the millennial equivalent of just being handed a box of crayons and being told to go nuts. It’s baked into our DNA.
I think I remember my computer class teacher saying something about it to my classmates and I.
And then one if the lines wasn’t painted all the way through and suddenly your whole image was Olive green
Then, that older cousin teaches you about “CTRL + Z”, which you think you also had to press the + key for it to work
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!!
Far from it my dude. =)

It was always Oregon Trail or Carmen San Diego for me.
Also, does anyone remember this game (it was included in Windows 95)?

Wow, this is a moldy meme. Anyone go to the cool website?
My 5 year old has done this a couple of times as well - I just has to adjust my semi-crazy mouse speed to her. :) I even saved the pics.
Another thing I distinctly remember is watching my das defragmentating the drive. I know that I at the same time hated it because it meant that we could not play games, but it was also strangely mesmerizing…
Send the pics to her when she’s 30
