Bash forkbomb wallpaper

Description

A simple wallpaper I made based a script in the Bash shell language, called a forkbomb. Simply put, this script is meant to crash your computer by duplicating itself exponentially and making your computer run out of RAM. This variation is considered the most elegant style of forkbomb, and I consider it one of the most beautiful pieces of code I've ever seen written.

Beautiful but deadly.
