If you were thinking of offing yourself, and/or your computer, how would you do it? (easy, see the details)

I would take it outside Office Space style and beat the living pulp out of it.

I have been known to take an old motherboard out to the ranch to use for a bit of therapeutic target practice.

Make it nice and s l o w. May I suggest Death by Cat?

It’s how I’m currently offing my #$%*& laptop. The cat is irresistibly drawn to the heat of the laptop. As he is attempting to settle in for a nap on the keyboard, pick him up to move him and he will hook his claws under the keys, popping several off in the process.

While you’re at work, he’ll finally get his nap in peace. The laptop, unable to vent heat through the keyboard, will overheat and crash. Reboot and repeat overnight.

And then, the coup de grace: Leave a houseplant within reach of the cat, so he’ll find it and get a bellyfull. Now just wait. Eventually, nature will take its course and voila! a nice juicy qwerty right where it counts. Just to savor the moment, watch as your computer types some barf-addled gobbledegook all by itself!

Best of all, your SO will never be able to pin the piece of shit’s demise on you! It’s the perfect crime. It will take awhile for the process to…um, reach completion, but when it’s over it will be perfectly understandable why you need that new Macbook.

Enjoy.

I shot an early 90’s PC monitor with 12 gauge slugs once. It was pretty cool. I had no idea how thick monitor glass is. It looks like smoky quartz in the sunlight.

I prefer to take my misbehaving electronics and teach them to fly! They don’t usually get it right the first try!

Load it with napalm, light it, hire an Asian hooker and say you had a flashback

Miraculousy, right after I wrote this question the computer started to behave. Maybe it knew…..

@Adirondackwannabe Ut-oh, they’re becoming sentient beings before we initially thought! Quick, run!

@Cruiser I did that with my phone once when I was very angry. It happened to be St. Patrick’s Day when I did this. I was stuck with the Irish jig as my ringtone for a year. I had no insurance for the sucker. true story ;)

@jonsblond That made me laugh….how bizarre and funny! Did you dance a jig each time you got a call?? ;))

Tossing it into the air and blowing it away with an M1 Garand. ;)

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard I once saw a computer tower that had been dispatched in a similar manner, only they were 30–06 holes, not 12ga.

My own computer has given me many years of faithful service, so when the time comes, I’d like to give it a respectful recycling.
