officially-cool youtuber Tech Tangents was working on an old Tandy machine and discovered the most hilarious quit menu in all of software, buried in an obscure astrology program for DOS:
THE "MAYBE QUIT" OPTION!
For too long, computer programs have been asking if we're sure we want to quit, and only giving us a binary yes/no option. Finally we can leave whether we quit or not up to fate.
And yeah. When he tried it out, it failed to quit a few times and then quit. It seems it just flips a coin when you select it and either quits/does nothing based on it.
