I unplugged the monitors from the wall and wrapped a single hair-width strand of copper wire around the positive and negative terminals, and put the plug pins just barely back in the socket so it looked loose.
When the person investigating the faulty monitor pushed the plug in, the copper would evaporate in a bright flash.
Later that night I would dumpster-dive behind the computer lab at the school for the thrown-out, ‘faulty’ monitor. That’s how I got my first 17" CRT monitor for gaming on Counterstrike.
Holy shit that’s some serious preplanning and manipulation. It’s impressive and kind of fucked up all at once. Everyone else was here was just fucking around.
