Everyone knows the "You can tune a file system, but you can't tune a fish" joke in tunefs(7) from BSD. But #TIL, in SunOS 4.1, it got even better. After it was previously removed, SunOS added an additional curse to the source code as a comment.

Take this out and a Unix Demon will dog your steps from now until the time_t's wrap around.

In case you needed some #NightMareFuel, this is what the oesophagus of a leatherback sea turtle looks like on the inside.

Those spines keep jellyfish in but let sea water out. Unfortunately, they also keep plastic bags in, making them very vulnerable to plastic impaction!
