Have any other monitors available?
If you do, literally change the monitor and hide the other one. Smaller the better.
Open fakeupdate.net put it in full screen (F11) and watch them debating how much of their work was unsawed.
Put one of them fake ransom ware screens
You just gave me an awesome prank to pull on my wife. Thanks!
We'd change their desktop background to something stupid
In our office, any time someone leaves their screen unlocked, we turn everything upside down in the display settings. Good way to remind people to Win + L when they get up. π
I am not sure this works anymore or if it ever did since I heard about it years ago, but when you send an email to someone on something like gmail who doesn't use some form of adblocker, be sure to put some hidden text in whatever color the background of their client is. Apparently they'll eventually start seeing ads for that specific thing you hid in the email since those emails are most certainly scanned so you can get targeted ads (especially gmail and most likely outlook as well).
You probably need to receive more than one email about a subject before you start getting targeted ads
Forgot to mention the part about it being something you need to constantly do. Thanks for the heads up.
Hit my boss with tellyourpartner.org earlier this week, a website that anonymously texts your partner with a list of STIs you select and a suggestion to get tested. Be careful tho it kinda back fired and he messaged a few of his exes lmao
That's a horrible thing to do to someone
Thatβs construction for ya. The pranks can be ruthless
