Sadly, this makes me miss when people pretended to slip and fall at the grocery store so they could throw milk jugs in the air and make a mess.

Man I'm so sorry to my highschool Chromebook. They gave me that shit in yr seven and I was incapable of keeping things in one piece at that age. I think every key had been taken off by the end of the year and there were several holes in the outer casing.
Chromebooks are absolute garbage.
Most computers I have used over the last 15 years will disable USB power if you short out the port (working with electronics you tend to replicate the "sticking scissors into a USB port" with some regularity)
Pencil lead I am sure causes other issues though... it gets red hot and melts eventually
Is there a better option schools should be buying at a similar price point?

Man I feel like a large part of the internet is out of reach.
Why have I got to sign up for tiktok just to watch this happen?
Shit like this used to be easily finable on google or something. Now I can't seem to find shit. All I get get in news articles about it.

When I was a middle schooler I definitely wanted to see what would happen from messing around with things like that would be like...
But I also wasn't inundated by short form videos trying it out and encouraging me to do it myself also as part of a trend...
I thought system will turn off USB port if notice current over draw. Look like I am wrong.
We live in hell
