I’ll start.
Laws:
Aggravated Digital Piracy. Downloading probably thousands dollars worth of content. yaRrr 🏴☠️ (btw, check out: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com it’s blocked by lemmy.world instance btw)
I flew a drone without FAA LAANC approval, and beyond “line of sight” rules. (I checked air radar online, there were zero flights near me at such low altitudes that I was flying my drone, so zero safety issues)
I sent a string of encrypted text over Ham Radio bands as a “proof of concept” for a off-grid comucation method. (Rattlegram is an app on Android and iOS, that can convert text to audio; Secure Space Encryptor (SSE) is an open source encryption app that can encrypt a string of plaintext into a string of ciphertext (this app is called “Paranoia Text Encryption” on iOS), you can copy-paste this ciphertext into Rattlegram and sent it over Ham Radio, then reverse the process on the other end. Voila, encrypted off-grid communications) Encryption over Ham Radio is illegal, but whatever lmfao, fuck the FCC.
A lot of jaywalking, because I was feeling suicidal and didn’t care. Never got a fine lol.
School rules:
Probably the most common is the no-phone rule. (don’t worry, my education was fine, didn’t miss anything important)
My high-school (in the USA) made you wear a tie, I often don’t until staff tells me to, then proptly take it off when they are out of sight. (It’s so fucking unfortable) Idk why they even have dress codes when my school was so “ghetto” af.
Workplace:
That no-phone rule again 🙃
Oh, I used a pen and wrote marxist shit on the bathroom walls at my workplace (I’m not even a marxist, I just wanna fuck shit up). Never got caught. Statute of limitations probably expired by now, can’t even sue me if they now found out who did it.
Websites: A lot of Terms of Service. A lot of community rules in forums.
What rules have you broken? 👀
Software piracy in terms of what would have been the longest sentence.
I almost cut a mechanics fingers off after he used an emergency stop as a LOTO. I would Probably not be guilty in the eyes of law or workplace safety rules but sure would have felt the worst if something bad happened.
Yo dawg, you can’t just leave out the FAA (drones violations) and FCC (radio usage violations). We have feelings too 😭
When I was a toddler, and my parents took me shopping, as soon as I got anywhere near the part of the store/shop that had bread, I’d always end up quickly stealing a baguette, opening it, and start eating it. By the time my parents paid for everything the baguette was nearly non existent. Of course my parents paid for the baguette in the end, but I’m pretty sure it’s against the rules to steal and eat one and then force your parents to pay for it. Little old toddler me didn’t care about the rules!
I still absolutely love baguettes.
Get stabbed, stab back.
That’a called self-defence, not illegal (or do you live in one of those countries that punish people for self defence? 🤔)
Nice try, FBI.
Not today, CIA.
Dirty tricks, MI6.
Sit on this, CSIS
The worst thing I’ve done is warn people not to admit to their crimes on a public internet forum.
Nice try glowy
Just like a glowy would say
Initiated a cyber-attack on the electronic infrastructure of a right wing extremist group, taking them offline.
Back in Ye Olde BBS days, there was this group called “Oregons Citizen Alliance” run by this asshole named Lon Mabon.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Citizens_Alliance
https://ballotpedia.org/Lon_Mabon
Everybody had a BBS in those days and the OCA was no exception. But their BBS had an interesting “feature”.
You could upload files to it, but if the file wasn’t .ZIP, it would uncompress it and re-compress it as .ZIP.
All you had to do was find a virally infected .ARC or some other format, upload it, and the BBS would infect itself.
BBS was offline after that.
I’d like to remind everyone that the fediverse is public and anyone or any group can be listening in.
I mean… don’t announce that you’ve embezzeled millions of dollars from a big corp, nothing like that lol. That’d get you in real trouble.
Nobody cares about pirates, they’d have to arrest the whole country.
I described an NFL game without the express written consent of NFL productions
“Then this one guy threw the ball and this other guy ran very fast towards the end of the field and caught the ball but then this other other guy knocked him over…”
yaRrr 🏴☠️
double checks statutes of limitations
Probably smoking weed or destruction of property.
I used to run a socialist news letter in HS. My distribution was like… one to my friend group, one to a cool teacher, and one to someone I had a crush on. Clearly it had higher readership than NYT.
In my workplace I’ve got ridiculous seniority so I try and revoice concerns from more junior people. I’d be pretty okay with getting a nice big severance payout so why the fuck not. I also try to be a voice of reason when it comes to AI hype.
I’ve illegally entered Canada several times.
There is a spot my dad and I used to go fishing. It is a large lake where one side is US and the other side is Canada. On the Canada side there is a dockside store where you can buy beer, maple syrup, and souvenirs. We stopped by the store every year before camping on the US side of the lake. One day we found out there is a little hut where we were supposed to stop first to check in with customs before going to the store. Oops.
we used to go back and forth all the time on fishing trips up north. even bring back produce (wild berries picked from the islands on the other side) without going through customs. we always did have both fishing licenses, though. catch both limits that way, regardless of where on the lake you got 'em.
“exists”
I break rules all the time in the Amerikkkas! Just by existing
magnetic card cloning (fairly simple) and gaining access to some card controlled areas. Got caught though and had to attend a meeting.
I like to piss in that guy’s gas tank
That’s better than that one asshole who kept putting gasoline in my pisstank!
That would really fuck your shit up, I imagine
I guess it would fuck up your piss more than your shit
