When XKCD did this years ago, it was actually funny. Also, it supported more commands than just 'ls' and 'pwd'.

And the XKCD version is even open source: https://github.com/chromakode/xkcdfools

They could've just forked it and added or removed commands.

Checkout the templates object in the browser terminal to find all of the easter eggs (-'s can be replaced with spaces):

easter egg

business-cat

wizard

sudo-make-me-a-sandwhich

sudo shutdown

pwd also works

good way to poach potential future full-times/interns from other companies :)

Hah! Pretty funny. Run this one: sudo rm -rf /

Not sanitized for XSS. Try <script>alert('XSS')</script>

try 'easter egg' for a pleasant surprise

DMCA notices are pleasant indeed.

sudo make me a sandwich

returns what you'd expect.

Javascript errors in Chrome Dev Windows.

What errors?
