[RiceMonster]

Haha, I like it.

[earthpigg]

ha - a few bash commands work, too.

[lais]

love it!!

[AlphaMack]

There are some funny easter eggs in those commands...

[ibuclaw]

That is how xkcd should have been from the start... (and should continue to be) :)

[Occasionally Correct]

I was playing around with this earlier. You can replicate the sudo comic. :p

[warrenc285]

Type in find kitten.

[ibuclaw]

List of commands here: http://github.com/chromakode/xkcdfools/blob/master/xkcd_cli.js

apt-get moo

apt-get dist-upgrade

make me a sandwich

[Giant Speck]

Awesome April Fool's joke. I actually kind of hope he keeps it that way.

[Grenage]

It's like going back in time 15 years; that kind of webpage was all the rage!

[=CrAzYG33K=]

[murderslastcrow]

You guys remember the xkcd comic about sudo?

Make me a sandwich.

No.

Sudo make me a sandwich.

Okay.

Type sudo make me a sandwich, RIGHT NOW.

[tadcan]

Type

That would be cheating!

[the yawner]

This is awesome.

[fromthehill]

typed 'sudo rm -rf /'

Life is peaceful there.

Exits: east, west

guest@xkcd:/$ go west

In the open air.

Exits: east, west

guest@xkcd:/$ go west

Where the skies are blue.

Exits: east, west

guest@xkcd:/$ go west

This is what we're gonna do.

Exits: east, west

guest@xkcd:/$ go west

Sun in wintertime.

Exits: east, west

We will do just fine.

Exits: east, west

guest@xkcd:/$ vim

You should really use emacs.

guest@xkcd:/$ emacs

You should really use vim.

[Berk]

And yet, their CLI website doesn't work in a CLI web browser. :(

[thegreenblob]

guest@xkcd:/$ make me a sandwich

What? Make it yourself.

guest@xkcd:/$ sudo make me a sandwich

Okay.

:lolflag:

I love xkcd. I hope they keep it like this. lol

[Dragonbite]

That is awesome! I hope they keep this, and I'm curious if it's downloadable!

[Giant Speck]

And yet, their CLI website doesn't work in a CLI web browser. :(
http://omploader.org/vNDBnYg

Maybe that's an unwritten extension of the joke, to get someone to take a screenshot of a CLI web browser showing that in order to run a "CLI" application, the user needs to install Javascript.

[3rdalbum]

It's not Opera-compatible!

[Pikestaff]

I was Script-Frenzying but this is going to distract me forever...


guest@xkcd:/$ pwd

You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike.


man xkcd

Oh, I'm sure you can figure it out.

[lsk3993]

I love this! Any idea if the permalink http://www.xkcd.com/unixkcd/ will work in the future?

[RiceMonster]

guest@xkcd:/$ uname
Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator

guest@xkcd:/$ su
God mode activated. Remember, with great power comes great ... aw, screw it, go have fun.

Man, this is awesome.

[dragos240]

guest@xkcd:/$ uname
Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator

guest@xkcd:/$ su
God mode activated. Remember, with great power comes great ... aw, screw it, go have fun.Man, this is awesome.

I tried uname, sadly, I did uname -a, and nothing.

[JDShu]

LOL upgrade to a better browser!

[mkendall]

It's not Opera-compatible!

Yes, it is. Have you edited the site preferences to allow Java-script?

[DOS4dinner]

Greatest April fools ever. Oh, and the Konami code works too!

(up up down down left right left right b a ) Use the keyboard; don't type it in.

Enter it four times in a row. Trust me.

I thought you were making an april fools joke after I read that suspicious looking "trust me" ;) But it works! Ha! That's awesome. lol

[MCVenom]

guest@xkcd:/$ vim

You should really use emacs.

guest@xkcd:/$ emacs

You should really use vim.

/shakes fist
And this:


guest@xkcd.com:/$ nano
You should really use an editor.

:lolflag:

[Simian Man]

I'm sure this will be accessible forever. This was way to much work to be available once a year!

[MaxIBoy]

And this:


guest@xkcd.com:/$ nano
You should really use an editor.:lolflag:
Just found this one:

guest@xkcd:/$ ed
You are not a diety.
"Butterfly" doesn't work though. Neither does "magnetic needle."

Also, this works:

!!"Echo" is broken:

guest@xkcd:/$ echo
Echo ... echo ... echo ...
guest@xkcd:/$ echo foo
Unrecognized command. Type "help" for assistance.
guest@xkcd:/$

"Vi" acts just like "vim." The following commands all do nothing:


mp (and minimum-profit)
pico
edit
gedit
kate
leafpad
mousepad
notepad



"Bash" has this result:

guest@xkcd:/$ bash
You bash your head against the wall. It's not very effective.But these do nothing:


sh
csh
zsh
fish
rsh
lush
dash



Neither tab completion nor glob match seem to work.



"More" has this result:

guest@xkcd:/$ more
Oh, yes! More! More!But these do nothing:


less
most

Greatest April fools ever. Oh, and the Konami code works too!

(up up down down left right left right b a ) Use the keyboard; don't type it in.

Enter it four times in a row. Trust me.

Enter it a fifth time and . . .

[gjoellee]

Haha...try
sudo shutdown

[ppp0]

...And again bash console %) But nice!

[JDShu]

goto reminds you why its bad.

[MaxIBoy]

SPOILER ALERT:

Okay, I cheated and looked at the source code through astyle. I made a few minor changes (mostly formatting related,) and here it is:
http://pastebin.com/RFA3Sbj6
Note that I didn't fix all of the formatting, I gave up partway through.

Interestingly enough, there are a few easter eggs which actually get overwritten later, and so are only visible in the source code.

[Regenweald]

sudo shutdown -r now works :) but apt-get update needs root access lol.

[sToRmehz]

* Usage:
* // konami code unlocks the tetris
* $('#tetris').konami(function(){
* $(this).show();
* });

The Konami code multiple times makes the page go crazy, but where is the tetris!? D:

[tica vun]

haha, try "vim" and "emacs" :D
