How powerful can a .txt file be....?

One single .txt file can bring down the entire Internet... that's how powerful it is

I think you mean .bat anon

Not very, but that we can read text files from the 70s with minimal difficulty while other formats far more recent are pretty much lost shows that it has its place.

To be honest, I like puretext.

Now make it replicate itself atleast a 100 times and you can get into an Ivy League school.

.txt files are turing complete when interpreted by most given programming languages

so not only are they extremely powerful, but there is nothing more powerful

I pretty much am 70 % sold on keeping all my data in .txt files. I keep them on dropbox for easy storage and access, as well as local copies. They upload pretty much instantly and download instantly. Plus you don't need other programs to read it.

How do you plan on saving your porn though?

Behold the true power of .txt

Since I've been typing so much, I'm rather good at transcribing. So now I just write out a detailed description of what's going on. At the top I'll say who the actors are(if they're professional) and a brief physical description. Then I'll use a screenplay format to describe how the scenes go.

But sometimes I like to be naughty and I'll record a .wav of the audio from the original porn video and compress it down to an Opus .ogg file. That way I can at pretend I'm reading an audiobook.

In Unix everything is a file so very powerful.

you can change a windows command so it loads any malware instead of fucking explorer.exe...
or preload any program before explorer.exe starts.
